US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are among the politicians attracting attention ahead of the 2028 presidential election.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 45 per cent of Republican voters rated Rubio as an “excellent” potential presidential candidate, followed by Vance at 43 per cent.

Among Democratic voters, Ossoff and Buttigieg each received an “excellent” rating from 29 per cent of respondents.

Other potential Republican contenders include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Ted Cruz. DeSantis received an excellent rating from 32 per cent of Republican voters.

On the Democratic side, former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom each secured 23 per cent, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received 15 per cent.

The survey covered 1,705 US adults nationwide, including around 500 registered voters from each major party.

None of the politicians has formally announced a presidential bid. The 2028 election is still some distance away, and the political landscape could change before the parties select their nominees.

Trump is absent from the potential contenders' list as the US Constitution prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice.
