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.
It’s strange to me that we’re agitating for voters to change and not our leaders. It’s fewer people you have to convince.
We’re doing both. Mamdani and the new DNC leadership are proof of this. Please don’t turn this into a false dichotomy; voter apathy still needs to be challenged at every turn, along with demanding better of our leadership.
Fair point. I wanted to call out how voters asking for better candidates is not voter apathy. Not that people who are apathetic to democracy don’t need to be challenged.
