This article was written by Jason Walsh for WokeSpy. New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has suffered another major setback in her dreams to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in 2028. According to a new poll from Echelon Insights, conducted between July 10–14, a familiar cluster of names have emerged atop the list of preferred candidates for Democratic primary voters.

However, Harris’ figures slipped six percentage points compared to the poll’s previous result. In second place was former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with 11 percent, up a single percentage point from the last survey. Both Harris and Buttigieg have polled as frontrunners across a number of pollsters throughout the early weeks and months of President Donald Trump’s second term. Greasy Gavin Surges Ahead The biggest winner was California Governor Gavin Newsom. According to the latest Echelon Insights poll, Newsom was named the preferred candidate by 10 percent of respondents. That figure is up five percentage points from the previous result and comes as the far-left governor has embarked on a podcast tour aimed at portraying himself as a moderate. In fourth place was Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), with seven percent. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez came in fifth place with just six percent of the vote. This represents a decline of two percent from the previous survey, and comes as pro-communist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani found himself under the national spotlight.(RELATED: USAID Quietly Sent Thousands Of Viruses To Chinese Military-Linked Biolab) Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as one of Mamdani’s primary benefactors and has held multiple rallies in support of his candidacy. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro received support from four percent of Democratic primary respondents. Shapiro is widely perceived as a moderate and has enjoyed high favorability ratings in the key swing state. Others included Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and businessman Mark Cuban — each of whom received three percent of the vote. Other Options? Governors Andy Beshear (Kentucky) and JB Pritzker (Illinois), both of whom have signaled serious interest in a White House bid, each received two percent, as did Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT) and John Fetterman (D-PA). Meanwhile, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Daily Show host Jon Stewart, and longtime ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith each received one percent of the vote. Read more at WokeSpy.com
