15. Yeah let me clarify something because the poll is very confusing...

Fri Jul 10, 2026, 08:36 AM

Friday

I didn’t understand how the poll couldn’t have any rethug names under “who do you want to be president” in 2028

They surveyed over 1000 people, consisting of Dems, rethugs and indies. They only asked DEMOCRATS who they wanted to be their nominee AFTER those people responded that they were democrats. Same for the rethugs.

Hope that helps you make sense of this lol.
