New York progressive tops a crowded field in survey by the most accurate pollster of the 2024 election, signaling a potential shake-up in the Democratic Party's 2028 presidential race. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has taken the top spot in a 2028 Democratic presidential primary poll for the first time, with 26 percent support in a new AtlasIntel survey. The result marks a major shift in the early race, which had previously been led by more centrist Democrats. The survey of 2,069 U.S. adults was conducted and it carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
