These tables list early national polls of the 2028 Republican presidential primary, the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, and general-election matchups. 2028 polling may reach back further than 30 days; field dates are shown in each row. These are hypotheticals. No race is being called.

How we calculate
Each poll on this page is taken from the pollster’s own release, or from a reliable listing of that release, and is linked from the pollster’s name. A row is left out if it cannot be sourced, or if it is outside the one-wave-per-pollster set used for that table, as noted on the page.
Emerson College’s Oct. 24–26 survey of 1,000 likely voters (approval 37-57, generic ballot 52-42) was in the same field window as other listed polls and is not in the 10-poll approval average or the 8-poll generic-ballot average.
Any average on this page is labeled “Simple average of the polls listed.” It is an unweighted average of the figures in that table, and only of those rows, rounded to one decimal place. It is not a weighted index and is not taken from an outside aggregator. A name that does not appear in a poll is omitted from that poll’s contribution to the average, not counted as zero. A pairing that has only one poll is shown without an average.
The approval and generic-ballot tables generally cover the most recent 30 days. The generic-ballot table is limited to pre-election polls of a forward-looking House ballot; recalled-vote surveys are listed separately. The 2028 primary and general-election tables may include older polls; the field dates are shown in each row. Dates are field dates, not release dates. Key: LV = likely voters, RV = registered voters, A = adults, GE = general-election voters. R+ Republican lead, D+ Democratic lead.
