Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Leads New Hampshire 2028 Democratic Primary Poll

A University of New Hampshire Granite State poll shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez (D‑NY) with 22 % support, narrowly ahead of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 21 % among likely Democratic primary voters. Sen. Mark Kelly (D‑AZ) trails at 9 % and California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 8 %. The poll, conducted in the early‑voting state of New Hampshire, is seen as a bellwether for the 2028 presidential nomination race.

Commentators on ABC’s *The View* reacted to the results: co‑host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “I’ve long thought that AOC is a potential front‑runner for 2028,” while Joy Behar added, “I like her very much, but the only time Donald Trump ever won was when he was running against two women.” The discussion highlighted both the growing visibility of AOC within the Democratic Party and the broader debate over candidate positioning ahead of the next election cycle.
