Overview
- A Saint Anselm College Survey Center poll of 2,112 New Hampshire registered voters conducted Nov. 18–19 finds 57% of Republican voters would back Vice President J.D. Vance in 2028 if he runs, with a margin of error of ±2.1 points.
- Marco Rubio registers 9% and Ron DeSantis 7%, while Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, and Tulsi Gabbard each draw 4%, and Ted Cruz and Glenn Youngkin come in at 1%.
- Poll administrators corrected an initial posting that listed Vance at 54%, clarifying his support stands at 57%.
- On the Democratic side of the same poll, Pete Buttigieg leads at 28% with Gavin Newsom at 24%, with the rest of the field in single digits.
- Vance’s standing is viewed in the context of his RNC finance chair role with the committee reporting over $86 million on hand in mid-November, while Politico has reported Rubio may forgo a 2028 run to back Vance and President Trump has called a Vance–Rubio ticket “unstoppable.”
