Majority Won’t Vote to Re-elect Ocasio-Cortez: Poll.
Epoch Times:
A sizable majority of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ (D-N.Y.) own constituents in the Bronx 14th congressional district have a low opinion of her, with a majority saying they would not vote for her re-election according to a new door-to-door survey of 2,261 homes.
The freshman congresswoman had a favorability rating of 21 percent, with less than 11 percent who believed she had their best interests in her mind when she quashed the Amazon deal. The survey was conducted by a political action committee called “Stop the AOC PAC,” who want to “evaluate the actual perceptions of constituents.”
The survey, dated on June 10, found only 13 percent would vote for her re-election. At the same time, 33 percent of constituents said they are “are ready to vote against her.”
Another key finding was that 42 percent of her constituents were unfamiliar with her name, “despite her enormous media coverage and Twitter presence,” the pollsters said.
A major point of disagreement constituents had with the congresswoman was the scrapping of the Amazon HQ deal. The survey found only 9 percent were opposed to the deal which would have brought in thousands of new jobs in the New York area. Only 11 percent believed Ocasio-Cortez had their best interests in mind, in regards to the Amazon deal, with 33 percent saying she didn’t.
“Facing an electorate more concerned with results than retweets, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has problems in her backyard,” the pollsters concluded. “Despite her online notoriety and fandom in the national new progressive movement, the citizens of New York District 14 want a representative aligned with their values.”
“It’s clear Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is not the model for hope and change she sold herself to be,” they continued. “The opportunity for a new voice is prevalent, and the electorate is ready to take action in 2020.” more here
At this point, the leaders of the Democratic Party probably don’t even want to find uncounted ballots in the broom closet for her.
The bad thing is that even if she loses next time, CNN et al probably will keep going to her as some wise sage about things.
She’s annoying the entire country. The press are the only ones who can’t seem to get enough. Shocking isn’t it?

There you have it. I’m in favor of professional jurors, meaning they actually know what is going on around them. How about professional voters? The founders are spinning, but not just because of me.
She’ll get re-elected because the people don’t decide this, the backroom machine decides who wins. They’ll buy the election because she’s a thorn in conservatives sides, just like mad max, sheila lee and ted lieu.
She’s the future of America donncha know.

But with one key difference, she’s a bigger pain to Nancy the others aren’t.
I knew a guy back in the old days who bought a brand-new truck, and, within a week, was bitching and complaining about it.
I thought the guy was a fricken idiot … guess he was a New Yorker …

Her constituents are her professors and liberal classmates at Boston University. They don’t live in the Bronx.
It may just be worth it for me to fly to NYC, walk into the bar where she’ll be working again, order a drink, and give her no end of shit.
Will there be anyone running against her for those disgruntled constituents to vote for instead?
I doubt they’re going to be voting Republican, and I think the Democrat elite like having her in place, so there may be no one else to vote for.
@A.Moose: “They’ll buy the election because she’s a thorn in conservatives sides…”
I disagree. I think she’s a boon to the Conservative cause.
I’m going with no on this one.
Maybe not!
She is the result of Justice Democrats™️®© (Young Turks) sniping her primary at an opportune time.
She is weak because of this. If she isn’t tossed next election, I’ll be surprised.
If so, it’ll be a Dem, but better than communist her?
Sadly, you may be very right on this one.
Query: If she really is annoying her constituents, are they annoyed ENOUGH to vote R?
I don’t think so, either … but strange things are happening.
