Gallup Poll: Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Well-Known But Mostly Disliked Across the Country

In a new Gallup Poll released on Friday, they found that while freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has tremendous name recognition, her “image skews negative.”

Gallup reports “half of U.S. adults were unfamiliar with or had no opinion of her in September” after her upset primary win against incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley. Now two months into office, only 29 percent of people say they do not know who she is.

31 percent of those polled said they had a favorable view of Ocasio-Cortez, while 41 percent said they had an unfavorable view of her.

Her polling was abysmal among men, white people, and people aged 55 and older. Her best polling was unsurprisingly among Democrats and minorities.

1. She's getting the full Hillary

[TheRealNorth]

9. Exactly

[bullwinkle428]

21. And Nancy Pelosi. RW scum knew those 2 women would not be on the public stage forever.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

2. It's Gallup

So irrelevant

[watoos]

5. Exactly.

In 2012 they had Romney winning. They put in bad data into their formula.

Polls are used by the right to control the narrative.

3. FAUX News is doing what the Russians pay them to do. I know wingers constantly mention her and don't

... understand its FAUX News pr

[TheBlackAdder]

4. 31% favorable, 29% don't know, 41% unfavorable. I wonder if her last name plays a part in the later

[a kennedy]

11. Ding ding ding ding ding.....and we have a winner.....

Her name.....dah.

[gratuitous]

6. This freshman representative occupies an outsize portion of a lot of very small minds

I wonder how much national polling Gallup does on freshman Republican representatives?

[KG]

28. !

[mitch96]

7. The only people she has to please are the voters in her district.. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

12. Yep, and if they are for her, nothing else matters.

[maxsolomon]

8. "Can you say what you find objectionable about her?"

"Uh... no?"

Fricking idiots.

[matt819]

10. Well, they didn't poll me

White. Check.

Man. Check.

Over 55. Check.

I think she's great and hope I'm still around when she runs for president.

"The people" want what they're familiar with - old white guys who tell them what they want to hear. They don't care if that old white guy is smart. He's what they know and he's what they don't have to think about. They want meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

[bluecollar2]

18. Guess they missed me too

White

Male

62

I like her too.

[Anon-C]

13. Loll!

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. There are many who do not like an uppity woman. Nt

[essme]

16. Too uppity, right? nt

[lilactime]

17. I had lunch with a group of fellow white female retirees today. We all

like, even love, her.

[monmouth4]

19. Saw her referred to as "brash" and needs to learn the ways of congress. I just mentioned that brash

is another word for "truth telling" and some cannot abide that. I really like her and always interested in what she has to say.

[struggle4progress]

25. brash, adj. Used to describe people smarter or better informed than me

[OhNo-Really]

27. Brash def "women smarter than men"

[GeorgeGist]

20. Gallup fudging again?

[diva77]

22. I don't know why polls are considered news. Seems they are more indicators of whether the media is

doing its job. If the media were doing its job, Dump would have a 0% approval rating.

The 41% unfavorable rating for AOC should be reclassified as "41% of people who have been deprived of independent, fact-checked media, and are, instead, primarily under the influence of corporate "mainstream" media have been lured into disapproving of AOC."

[bullwinkle428]

23. Congratulations, RW media - you've done your job to perfection.

[diva77]

24. my sentiments, exactly

[OhNo-Really]

26. B S Poll. Nt

[HopeAgain]

29. "polling was abysmal among men, white people, and people aged 55 and older"

Exactly the demographic that continues to support Trump. Actually she should be proud.

Besides, she can play the long game to her advantage.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

30. And of course that matters.

Not. She's a Representative from a specific state. So long as her constituents are pleased with her, she'll be re-elected. That's the only poll that matters.

[underthematrix]

31. Me and my sister don't like her.

She's been disrespectful to the Speaker and other members of leadership

But the final straw was her trying to give advice to us African American women about building our power base.

I avoid her on cable news, don't retweet her and don't tweet or retweet anything about her positive or negative.

[flotsam]

32. Here's the thing

She's in the top 3 of democrats being smeared from the right and Trump more than anyone else has gone on the attack. If you are a republican who just heard about her, well, let's say we know how they voted. But If you are a democrat you may not yet have been convinced. So while the #s are not really good I gotta think that the remaining pool holds more people waiting to be convinced than people willing to knee-jerk reject her.

[spanone]

33. russian bots are hard at work....

[Mariana]

35. No need for Russian bots.

She pushes almost ALL the buttons for the majority of the people in the demographic groups in which she polled badly. They didn't need any help to hate a young, non-white female Democratic Representative from New York. I'm frankly surprised they haven't figured out a way to convince themselves she's secretly a Muslim - although I'm sure they believe she's atheist, which is just about as bad to them.

[allgood33]

34. I thought you were talking about Trump
