Support for California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) as the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee is surging, according to a new poll.

An Emerson College Polling survey released on Friday showed 25 percent of Democratic primary voters saying they would support Newsom as the nominee, a jump from the 12 percent he received in a similar poll conducted in June.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg received support from 16 percent of respondents, consistent with what he received in June, while former Vice President Harris’s support slid from 13 percent in the June poll to 11 percent in Friday’s poll.
