Summary
A new poll from New Hampshire indicates that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is gaining ground on Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 Republican presidential primary matchup. While Vance still leads with 36% support, Rubio has risen to 26%, a significant shift from earlier polls. This comes as Rubio's public profile and responsibilities have increased, and despite Trump previously calling Vance his likely heir apparent, he has also praised Rubio and suggested a Vance-Rubio ticket.
