Per Newsweek:

Kamala Harris is by some margin Democratic voters most favored candidate to be the party's 2028 presidential election candidate, according to a new poll.
Echelon Insights surveyed 1,010 likely voters between November 14 and 18 with a 3.5 point margin of error. Of the 393 polled who said they support the Democrats 41 percent stated that "if the 2028 Democratic presidential primary were being held today" they would vote for Harris, well ahead of second placed California Governor Gavin Newsom on eight percent.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro came third with seven percent, followed by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris's 2024 running mate, with six percent each.

If that is true, then maybe she was prophetic "What Can Be, Unburdened By What Has Been"

Is she the board's choice for 2028?

Is that not newsworthy Ford? Given the endless articles diagnosing the reasons behind the election results to see that she is still preferred by others who seemingly would be stronger candidates.

Is a poll of 1,000 people, of which only 393 of them are Democrats, and of which 41% of that 393 says they prefer Kamala Harris in 2028, newsworthy?

Was Gretchen Whitmer a choice in the survey? That'd be my guess for the Dems 2028 candidate, assuming we still have US Presidential elections.
 
Long, long way to go between now and the 2028 election cycle, so a ton can and will change, but I'm hopeful that Andy Beshear is a strong candidate. I'd also like to see Buttigieg on the ticket. Whitmer could be a good addition to the ticket, as well.

She was. Harris 41%, Newsome 8%, Shapiro / Buttigieg / Walz at 6%, AOC 4%, Whitmer 3%. It wasn't even close. That doesn't bode well for the dems but its a long time until 2028.

Why are you even taking this seriously? They should have polled if people know who most of the candidates are.

Not taking it for anything more than what it is. A snapshot of where the dem party's mind is right now in wake of all the analysis that has taken place since the election. I'm of no mindset that that is where things will stand even 6 months from now. But there has been a tremendous amount of hindsight applied and this is where things are today.

Not sure why you think that but ok. I hope the pubs nominate a woman.

Because the last *two* times that the Democrats nominated a highly-qualified, highly credentialed woman (yes, I'm aware that your opinion is that Kamala Harris was neither of those things), she lost to the most historically unpopular presidential candidate in American history. Even though Trump won't be on the ticket again in 2028, I think they'd (we'd?) be foolish to go back to that well again so soon. The Democrats desperately need to win back working class, middle class, rural, and non-college-educated voters. Someone like Andy Beshear, who does very well as a governor of a ruby red state, would be a great candidate to help do so, IMO. I also like Josh Shapiro.

Kudos to you for even wasting your time replying to the troll.

It isn't women that's the issue. Its that both of them were VERY unlikeable and were really, really bad candidates. No question hillary was qualified. I will never agree kamala was qualified. I'm certainly not a fan of identity politics but imo NH is the pubs strongest candidate and hopefully she is nominated. I predicted 4 yrs ago she would be the first female potus and i'm sticking to that prediction.

I don’t think Nikki will ever be able to get through the primary. Her best chance in the primary is that she secures her spot as one of only a few candidates from the “traditional” conservative wing, and there are several MAGA types running against her who split the MAGA support in Trump’s absence.

Regardless, she will have my support for sure (she already did in 2024)
