Polling expert Nate Silver recently predicted that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is currently the most likely Democrat to lead the party's 2028 presidential ticket.

During a conversation with former FiveThirtyEight staffer Galen Druke on Silver's Silver Bulletin Substack, Silver said Ocasio-Cortez would have been his top pick—until Druke beat him to it in their "Democratic primary draft.”

"I think there's a lot of points in her favor at this very moment," Druke said during the discussion. "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has broad appeal across the Democratic Party."

Still, Silver noted it remains uncertain whether she will run, and her support could splinter in a crowded primary. Yet her ongoing national tour and growing media presence suggest she may be laying the groundwork for a campaign.

Druke pointed to a Yale University poll showing Ocasio-Cortez with a +60 net favorability rating among Democrats—the highest of any potential candidate.

While her intentions remain unclear, Ocasio-Cortez is trending upward in early polling for 2028. A recent poll from Zeteo and Data for Progress found that in a Democratic primary scenario without former Vice President Kamala Harris, Ocasio-Cortez was tied for second with Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey at 14 percent, behind former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 17 percent. In a broader scenario with Harris included, she received 12 percent support, placing her third.

Another CNN poll conducted March 6 to 9 showed Ocasio-Cortez leading in one key area. When asked which Democrat "best reflects the core values" of the party, 10 percent of Democratic voters named her—just ahead of Harris at 9 percent and Sanders at 8 percent.
