California Governor Gavin Newsom holds an early edge over Vice President JD Vance among young male voters for the 2028 presidency, according to new polling from a Republican-affiliated firm.

The latest League of American Workers/TIPP survey, conducted October 22-28, shows that among young men, 38 percent would vote for Newsom compared to 33 percent for Vance.

The findings suggest that Newsom—a prominent Democratic voice—continues to outperform expectations with a demographic that has trended toward the GOP in recent years. The results come amid renewed debate within both parties over how to win back young men, a group increasingly seen as pivotal to future national elections.

    From the comments, it looks like a lot of people are willing to repeat the mistakes that got us Trump.

    We’re so fucked.

      My assessment is that we are in a unique place where we need system changes - without which policy changes will be near impossible. I’m talking term/age limits for all branches, banning lobbying, publicly funded elections, banning gerrymandering, etc. And while Gavin is not ideal from a policy perspective - he does appear to have the fortitude to tackle systemic corrections.

      I’ve only seen the opposite in the comments. The people don’t want a repeat of what got us Trump. But the DNC sure seems hellbent on trying it again.
