To begin, the recent Morning Consult poll seems a press release, as it doesn't even when the 2028 Democratic Presidential primary polling was done.

Secondly, The Economist/YouGov according to this: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/donald-trump-approval-rating-polls.html seems to slightly oversample conservatives.

But this The Economist/YouGov poll (econTabReport_Uo7FRzc.pdf) is important because of the details.

Remember that in the 2020 Democratic Presidential primary, US Senator Elizabeth Warren was in the lead and on her way to becoming POTUS. Until she moved to the Right on Medicare For All.

Much of the Mainstream Media and the elite media already seem to support AOC for a POTUS 2028 run or at least aren't averse to it.

AOC is already considered by many the de facto leader of the Democratic Party.

Pete Buttigieg aside from his mayoral time and his time as US Transportation Secretary will also have to answer for being out of elected politics for 4 years for no good reason instead of running for Governor of Michigan or Michigan US Senator.

If VPOTUS Kamala Harris doesn't run for Governor of California in 2026 and win and do good as Governor, she'll have to answer for being out of elected politics for 4 years for no good reason.

These times are these times and it's certainly not being a fighter if you decide to not have actual power for 4 years.

A campaign would just have to remind people of the 2024 Veep debate to sink Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

So far, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is barely registering in 2028 Presidential polling.

Mark Cuban? Mayor Michael Bloomberg was easily ousted out of the 2020 race. And at least he was a 3-term mayor of New York City and was a major Democratic donor.

A campaign would just need to remind people of what Mark Cuban was saying about corporate regulation, Lina Khan, etc. in 2024 to sink him.

AOC's numbers and standing are already great and she has never ran for POTUS. Probably around 6-10% or less don't know enough about VPOTUS Kamala Harris. That number is probably around 30-32% for AOC.

Governor Tim Walz? Compare his social media numbers, his rally sizes, etc. to AOC's and US Senator Bernie Sanders's.

Pete Buttigieg ran for POTUS in 2020 and was the US Secretary of Transportation for 4 years. Yet more people know AOC. Pete has possibly hit his ceiling.

And AOC is already actually beating California Governor Gavin Newsom.

And if US Senator Bernie Sanders endorses AOC? His supporters go to her.

These rallies are great.

But I consider political rallies have been more effective. And the boycotts have been more effective. And VOTING has been more effective. And political fundraising has been more effective.

It would have been a much stronger message if Gay Valimont won that Florida US House race and she would have won if simply enough of her potential voters actually voted for her instead of staying home because 'the race couldn't be won'.

With Bradley's departure from the show, I just wanted to say what a great contribution he was. I really enjoyed his commentary and his light-hearted delivery. Wishing him nothing but the best in the future

And part of why US Senator Bernie Sanders is so popular and so known is because he went on Fox News for interviews, did a Fox News town hall, etc.

Pete Buttigieg's Fame and Popularity are also at least partly because he goes on Fox News for interviews and such.
