Trader consensus on Polymarket prices Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the frontrunner at 49% implied probability to win the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, ahead of Vice President J.D. Vance (37%) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (21%), diverging from recent straw polls like CPAC's late March survey showing Vance at 53% and Rubio at 35%. Rubio's odds have surged amid his high-profile role in early March Iran tensions and a reported GOP donor "draft Rubio" push, while Vance's probabilities recently fell below 37% as President Trump informally polls advisers on his potential successors. RFK Jr.'s HHS leadership and 2024 crossover appeal from endorsing Trump continue drawing trader support despite his 2025 denials of ambitions, with 2026 midterms poised to clarify the crowded primary field.
