A new poll purports to show Republicans may already have a new favorite for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination.
According to an AtlasIntel survey released Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio now leads the Republican field by a wide margin.
The poll found 45.4 percent of Republican voters picked Rubio as their preferred candidate. Vice President JD Vance came in second with 29.6 percent support.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in third at 11.2 percent.
Another 10.3 percent of Republicans said their preferred candidate was not listed in the poll.
Vivek Ramaswamy, who is currently running for governor of Ohio, received 1.4 percent support.
For months, Vance had largely been viewed as the clear frontrunner to carry President Donald Trump’s movement into the future.
