Emerson College Polling found Vance at 36% and Rubio at 35%, while 15% of Republican voters were undecided.

  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio has climbed into a near tie with Vice President JD Vance in the early 2028 Republican presidential race, according to an Emerson College poll released Thursday showing Vance at 36 percent and Rubio at 35 percent.
  • Since February, the Republican primary has "shifted significantly," with Vance's commanding 52 percent support eroding into a dead heat, Emerson College Polling executive director Spencer Kimball noted.
  • Rubio dominates voters over 50 and Hispanic voters at 70 percent, while Vance leads younger Republicans with 37 percent, revealing stark demographic splits shaping the race.
  • In a binary ballot test, Overton Insights shows Rubio ahead 42 percent to 36 percent, suggesting the Secretary of State holds a distinct advantage in direct matchups against Vance.
  • Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley each registered just 5 percent, while neither Vance nor Rubio has officially declared a campaign for 2028.
