(The Center Square)–U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is a current frontrunner for the Democratic Party for the next presidential election.
Pollsters and pundits are buzzing about the progressive New Yorker as a potential candidate after a Yale survey showed Ocasio-Cortez with a 62% favorability rating. Yale’s undergraduate-led Spring 2025 Youth Poll surveyed 4,100 “self-reported registered voters,” nearly half of which were aged 18-29.
Nate Silver, founder of polling aggregate and election forecaster FiveThirtyEight, predicted in a podcast with political podcaster Galen Druke that Ocasio-Cortez would be the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential nominee, as reported by Fox News.
The poll showed that Ocasio-Cortez has “broad appeal across the Democratic party and there’s a lot of people who could potentially get on board with her,” Druke said.
While Kamala Harris had the greatest name recognition of the Democrats provided in the survey, both she and Ocasio-Cortez received favorability ratings “at about net +60.”
Election forecaster Race to the White House has calculated an average of 18 polls from 11 pollsters since January 2024 on the 2028 Democratic presidential primary. It shows Harris leading by over 16 points. When Harris is removed, those same polls show former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in the lead with 17% and Ocasio-Cortez not far behind with 14%.
Ocasio-Cortez gained national attention in 2018 when she beat incumbent Joseph Crowley in a race for the House of Representatives. She has held the seat since then. A self-proclaimed socialist, she has been speaking across the country with U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, since late February in a “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.
She does support our Vets, “Without them, who would care for our animals?”
Supposedly the left can make a ‘president’ out of a glass of water. This said according to Ben Carson to Tucker Carlson.
Meh, she’s the proverbial ‘canary in the mine’ so to speak, to test the waters for the democRATS’s eventual candidate.
You’ve got to know that AOC is David Hoggs pick, because he truly is that stupid.
Too stupid for tending bar so she entered the “who wants to be a congressman” competition. She scored the lowest on the aptitude testing so the picked her.
Hee haw. Runnin’ with the Stooges.
You have to be 35 years old to be president. Shouldn’t your IQ also have to exceed 35?
This is terrifyingly hilarious news. Hilarious in that this little nitwit can’t find her own butt with both hands. We could put the first person in the Boston phonebook in the White House, and he’d do a better job than little girl Sandy. Terrifying in that the American electorate has been brainwashed into believing that voting is nothing more than virtue-signaling how open, and diverse, and welcoming, and non-racists you are. I’ve witnessed them put completely unqualified people into office and have no doubt whatsoever that if she was on the ballot, they’d so that again.
And a related note, I wonder if readers here know that Sandy LITERALLY is an actress playing a congresscritter A group known as Democratic Socialists wanted a person to play the part of one, and did a casting call. Sandy’s brother (realizing she fit the profile perfectly) sent in a video of her speaking in public, and she won the role. AOC is not figuratively, but actually playing the part of a politician. That means, of course, that she is told what positions she is to take. She would be a Biden puppet-style president, but on steroids. America could not survive that kind of disaster.
The leftist lemmings, just cannot help themselves.
Their hate is getting the best of them 🙂
She is the reason for having instructions on shampoo bottles.
AOC the Always Obnoxious Communist.
She will still lose even if they cheat
Democrats like an empty candidate who can be instructed to take on whatever they are told by the donor class. The sales pitch is identity politics, friendly media, and celebrity endorsements, all of which appeal to low information voters. The average person is an idiot, so they see no disadvantage in voting for an idiot. This process worked well for the Dems until Biden’s stage 5 dementia could no longer be concealed.
The Democrats are lost.
