Jon Ossoff Leads Progressive Straw Poll Over Kamala Harris

Senator Jon Ossoff led an informal 2028 presidential straw poll conducted this weekend at Crooked Con, a convention for progressive activists organized by Crooked Media. Ossoff secured 38 percent of the vote, followed by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with 17 percent and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with 14 percent.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris finished 16th in the poll, receiving 0.6 percent of the vote. This result indicates a sharp decline in support among progressive activists, despite Harris maintaining a lead in the RealClearPolitics average for 2028 Democratic primary polls at 21.8 percent.

Ossoff has previously denied interest in a presidential bid, stating he intends to serve a full six-year Senate term.
