AOC would trounce Chuck Schumer in primary as party leader ‘bleeding support’ from Dems, Jewish voters: poll (only 5.66 years left)

“Squad” member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would trounce Sen. Chuck Schumer in a primary – as the Democratic leader is “bleeding support” from his party and Jewish voters, a stunning new poll found.

Socialist Ocasio-Cortez leads five-term incumbent Schumer by a 54%-33% among likely Democratic voters in the Big Apple, according to the poll conducted by Honan Strategy Group for the Jewish Voters Action Network.

AOC, 35, who now services as a member of the House of Representatives, leads Schumer among Jewish Democrats 45%-33% with 17% undecided, the poll found.

“This is a massive wake-up call for Schumer,” said Maury Litwack, co-founder of Jewish Voters Action Network. “He’s not only bleeding support in the Democratic Party overall but also in the Jewish community.”

The numbers are troublesome for Schumer, who is Jewish and has relied on Jewish voters as a key area of support in his 50-year political career. The 74-year-old Senate minority leader isn’t up for reelection until 2028.

Litwack said the poll results are likely more of a reflection of dissatisfaction with Schumer than support for AOC, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America — a group that supports the controversial boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel.

Ocasio-Cortez herself has called Israel’s retaliatory bombing of the Gaza strip “genocide” after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

But Litwack was critical of Schumer’s actions in the wake of those attacks and subsequent antisemitic protests in the United States.

I don’t care if she takes out Chuckie, but she must never get anywhere near the Presidency.

[Just mythoughts]

Can anybody tell the difference? New York is doooooomed...

“...in his 50-year political career.” ← And one should not wonder why this country is on the verge of collapsing.

[blueyon]

I do not understand why any Jewish voter would vote for her....but then democrats make no sense

[Thud]

The poll was only of residents of NYC, not statewide.

[jeffersondem]

As an American it is difficult to know what to think about the dilemma. It is possible Ms. Cortez would help destroy the democrat party faster.

I guess I'm for Cortez.

[Steely Tom]

She doesn’t want to beat out that rhythm on a drum.

[JZelle]

This country is so F**KED!!!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

1. Schumer's term is up in 2028.
2. President Trump's term is up in 2028.
3. President Trump is from New York.

[Fungi]

She's not even kosher and bet she cannot make good Gefilte fish meatballs.

[17th Miss Regt]

I do not understand why any Jewish voter would vote for her.

Willing disbelief of the people AOC is associated with.

"The Germans are a civilized people. They would never do anything like that!"

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Exactly! Senator Trump!

TRUMP FOR SENATE 2028

[EvilCapitalist]

I can’t see that happening. As much as I would love to see it, President Trump is more the CEO type.
