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.

- 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.
