Is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, on her way to being the next president? A new poll shows she might be losing her shine.
A recently released CNN/SSRS poll indicates that AOC may not be enjoying the popularity among young voters that she had previously seen.
“Only 28% of voters in the 18-34 bracket give her a favorable rating,” The New York Post reported. “Her numbers are worse among politically vital independents, where she scores just 22%, according to data reported by Puck News.”
And there is more bad news when it comes to her overall favorability rating, which sits at just 26% with a 36% unfavorable rating. This puts her behind New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who enjoys 30% favorability and 35% unfavorability.
This downward trend could impact her chances in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, where she is currently leading the field in New Hampshire.
Nationally, according to the CNN poll, AOC’s favorable rating trails the Republican Party (31%) and the Democratic Party (30%), although she is more popular than the Democratic Socialists of America, which gets just 18% favorability despite scoring key election wins in New York, Colorado, and other states,” the outlet reported.

She’s much too right wing for the new Communist Democrat party

Democrats love losing elections. As a registered Democrat I will never vote for AOC.

She would be laughed off the World Stage if she even got close to the White House. She’s a social media influencer. She has zero leadership capabilities. A total embarrassment.

Was it the stupidity or the communism?
I know, it’s that she doesn’t hate Jews enough. The other two are features not bugs.

What has she accomplished in her political career, I mean besides making herself popular? Nothing. She forced Amazon out of her district thereby denying her constituents the opportunity for good paying jobs. That’s about all I can think of that she did but that ain’t good.

The USA is not an extreme leftist country and never will be. AOC is an extreme leftist demagogue whose former occupation was being a bartender. Democrats don’t help their party or the country by even considering a racist and antisemite who sees only the skin color of people.
