Head to head poll between JD Vance and Newsom for 2028 is encouraging! [View all]

Yahoo News/ YouGov poll of US adults from Feb. 9-12: JD 43% Newsom 49%

Lol, JD. The American voters have seen you in action for a year and they don't like it. And for those of you who say JD's number is too high I agree. But in today's climate of extreme partisanship, six points is significant.

Look, Newsom may not be the candidate. But to me this shows that the non maga candidate has the advantage.

Murphy is not flashy, didn't go to Yale, smart and knows what he's doing. I like him a LOT! CTyankee 19 hrs ago #19

He is very impressive and was out there almost immediately senseandsensibility 17 hrs ago #23

We still don't know if Trump is going to try to pull off running again. Or has he given that up? CTyankee 17 hrs ago #24

Love her, but I think that would be a mistake on our part. Scrivener7 16 hrs ago #34

It would definitely be a mistake, if she continues to speak with the "caution" Jack Valentino 15 hrs ago #43

Well said. But my opinion is that, if taxing them means they'll move out of my state, we should tax them hard. Scrivener7 5 hrs ago #45
