The poll, released on May 30 by Atlas Intel, found Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and former transportation secretary in the Biden administration, to be the top pick among Democrats who responded to the survey.

A total of 31.5% of self-identified Democrats who responded to the poll said they would vote for Buttigieg for president in four years, according to the poll.

Other surveys in May from firms such as Echelon Insights and McLaughlin & Associates have found Harris in first place in the hypothetical primary, making Atlas Intel’s poll stand out among the rest.

Harris is the third most popular pick among Democrats in the poll, falling behind U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

TLDR: It's Mayor Pete in the lead in this poll, followed by AOC in second.

And an AOC candidacy would really, really excite me if I didn't know that Democrats rig their primaries. It'll be someone that rich people love who gets the nod, likely Mayor Pete or Gavin Newsom, and then Democrats will wonder how they could have possibly lost to JD Vance.

Pete has been making the rounds on various right and left'ish podcasts and channels, that's probably why his name is coming up. Though he avoids discussion on specific policy or make any firm stances.

Basically he's doing the Democrat Dance. Saying lots of words with little or no substance or committment.

Host: "America is feeling a lot of economic pain."

Pete: "I aknowledge and empathize with that pain."

Host: ".....and? What would you do about it if you were president?"

Pete: "Yes! So, about that local sports team..."
