Most Trump voters want another run in 2028 if he loses to Harris: Poll


A majority of Donald Trump’s supporters would back him for another run in 2028 if he loses the 2024 presidential election, according to a new poll. The survey, commissioned by Newsweek, shows Trump’s base remaining strong, though overall public opinion is more skeptical of a third campaign.

Update: Donald Trump projected to win 2024 presidential election: DDHQ

An Oct. 21 poll by Redfield & Wilton Strategies found that 51% of Trump voters — those who say they have already voted for him or plan to — believe he should pursue the presidency again in 2028 if he loses to Kamala Harris.

Around 38% of Trump supporters, however, disagree with the idea of another run.

In the general population, only 31% support a 2028 Trump campaign if he is defeated in 2024, while 55% are against it. Among Harris voters, the opposition is even more pronounced, with just 13% supporting another Trump run and 82% opposing it.

The poll highlights several demographic divides on the question of Trump’s potential future candidacy.

Among women, 34% believe he should run again, compared to 31% of men. In contrast, 53% of women and 55% of men believe he should not pursue another campaign.

Age also plays a role in attitudes toward a Trump 2028 bid:

  • Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation: Only 26% support another run, with 62% opposed.
  • Gen Z voters: 33% believe Trump should run again, while 55% disagree.
  • Millennials: 36% support a 2028 campaign, and 51% do not.

Lastly, the poll shows voter confidence is high heading into the election, with 90% of voters who say they’ll cast a ballot certain about their choice.

Trump himself has suggested that a third campaign is unlikely.

[Reporter]
“Regardless of what happens tonight… is this your last campaign? Are you done after this?”

[Donald Trump]
“Yeah I would think so… I would think so…

[Reporter]

“How do you feel about that?”

[Donald Trump]
“Sad… sad and very fulfilled. I think that… we’re gonna have a very big victory today.”

[Karah Rucker]

IT’S CLEAR THE IDEA OF ANOTHER TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN 2028 WOULD BE AS POLARIZING AS HIS CURRENT RUN. AS VOTERS HEAD TO THE POLLS, BOTH PARTIES ARE LIKELY ALREADY THINKING AHEAD TO THE POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS, NO MATTER THE OUTCOME THIS ELECTION.
