Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a positive 52-33 percent favorability rating among voters of her district nearly three months into her first term in Congress, and 48 percent of all voters and 61 percent of Democrats would vote to re-elect Ocasio-Cortez in 2020 while 39 percent would prefer someone else, according to a new Siena College poll of New York CD 14 registered voters released today. Fifty-seven percent of CD 14 voters think it was bad for New York that Amazon cancelled its plans to build a new headquarters in Queens while 32 percent say it was good for New York, and by 58-35 percent, voters in CD 14, which includes sections of both Queens and the Bronx, support Governor Cuomo’s efforts to woo Amazon to reconsider its decision.
When it comes to politics, only 25 percent of voters in Ocasio-Cortez’s district would describe themselves as a Democratic Socialist while 70 percent prefer describing themselves in ‘some other way.’ Still, overwhelming majorities are in favor of Medicare for all, free tuition at public universities across the country, a federal guarantee of a job that pays a living wage, banning assault weapons and taxing incomes above $10 million at rates of 60 percent or more. The Green New Deal garners the support of 41 percent of Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents with 20 opposed and 38 percent indicating that they don’t know enough about it.
“AOC’s favorability is a plus 19 in a district where two-thirds of votes are Democrats,” said Siena College Research Institute Director Don Levy. “Among Democrats her favorability soars to 65 percent and moves even higher to 79 percent among self-described liberals. Although it is very early, with nearly half of all voters and 61 percent of Democrats saying that they would vote to re-elect Ocasio-Cortez in 2020, she may be in position to represent this district for at least another term.”
“Led by the Democratic majority in the district, voters strongly support much of the legislation that Ocasio-Cortez is advocating,” Levy said. “About three-quarters of all voters and over 80 percent of Democrats are in favor of free tuition at public colleges across the country, banning assault weapons, a federal guarantee of a job that pays a living wage and Medicare for all. By two-to-one they support ‘The Green New Deal’ with Democrats at five-to-one although almost 40 percent do not have enough information about it in order to say. A majority oppose repealing and replacing Obamacare and a small majority would support impeaching the President.”aoc1
Attitudes towards Representative Ocasio-Cortez in CD 14 A majority of her constituents, 52 percent have a favorable opinion of Representative Ocasio-Cortez while 33 percent view her unfavorably. Two-thirds of Democrats view her favorably while nearly three-quarters of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Ocasio-Cortez. Overall, Ocasio-Cortez has a positive 47-42 percent job approval rating with Democrats grading her at 59-32 percent and Republicans at 17-74 percent. Nearly half of all voters, 48 percent, and 61 percent of Democrats are prepared at this point to re-elect Ocasio-Cortez, while 39 percent of all voters, 78 percent of Republicans, but only 27 percent of Democrats prefer someone else.
“AOC has jumped onto the front pages and certainly has attained household name status in her district,” Levy said. “Nearly two-thirds say that they are following the coverage of their freshman representative closely and while only one in seven have no opinion about her, favorable or unfavorable, Joe Crowley after 10 terms remains unknown to nearly 40 percent of voters.
“Fifty-nine percent of voters say that they are proud to have Ocasio-Cortez representing the district and 61 percent agree that while many of her ideas on the economy, climate or healthcare may not become law soon, they think she is moving us towards a more fair and just society,” Levy said.
Favorability Ratings In CD 14 among eight high profile politicians, Ocasio-Cortez has the highest net favorability rating at plus 19 followed closely by Senator Chuck Schumer at 18 and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at plus 17. Former CD 14 Representative Joe Crowley at 35-28-38 has a plus 7 rating and President Donald Trump has a negative 41 favorability rating in this heavily Democratic district.
We’ve got to realize. It’s the people who elect her who are the real enemies.
It’s her district.
She destroys thousands of jobs in just a few months and her district loves her. And when socialists destroy millions of lives all around a country they get a fanatical personality cult. It is like most people want to be impoverished and enslaved.
Does she live in a district that gets a lot free stuff?
. Straight from the horses's mouth.
Somethings wrong ,it’s should be 125%
About 2/3 of her district is in the Bronx, with many low and medium income households. The other 1/3 is in Queens, where many rich people live in elaborate mansions. Even the ordinary houses are worth more than a million.
Trump is polling at 53% so AOC wanted a 50 also ,LOL
I am familiar with the Queens part of her district, I haven’t seen any elaborate mansions there.
“Just face it, she’s in for life. “
The most dangerous thing to a socialist is another socialist. When the communists take over, they first kill the socialists. (I think it’s something like the Catholics and the Lutherans during the Reformation.) The Mensheviks who advocated for a more democratic form of government were executed by the Bolsheviks who advocated a do-as-I-say form of government. If a truly socialist government took over, the first blood to run in the streets would not be conservative, but people who voted for the new government, but now want a say in how it is run. AOC, being dumb as a post, would likely be on the loudmouthed critical, or as I like to call it, dead, side.
Good.
Most of the country rates her a buffoon and that was always gonna be a dem seat anyway.
The new green deal is a gift handed to Rs
“Just face it, she’s in for life.”
The silver lining is she IS the Democrat Party. She will raise tons of money for Republicans.
Yep, horny fourteen year old Puerto Rican boys like Alex Cortez.
That’s not news.
Looks like the perpetually stupid district.
