Americans favor four men as Trump's successor. The frontrunner is Rubio

American voters are leaning towards four potential presidential candidates for the 2028 elections, according to a new Ipsos poll for Reuters. The candidates include Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance for the Republican Party, and Pete Buttigieg and Jon Ossoff for the Democrats. None have officially announced their candidacies yet, and the nomination process will take place in over a year, allowing time for new candidates to emerge and voter preferences to shift. Among Republican voters, 45% believe Rubio would be an excellent candidate, while 43% feel the same about Vance. For Democrats, 29% support Buttigieg and Ossoff as strong candidates. The poll surveyed 1,705 adults across the U.S., with a margin of error of five percentage points.
