Most Know Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez


March 31, 2019 at 11:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds 72% of Americans say they know enough about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to form an opinion of her — a swift rise in name ID for a relatively new figure on the national scene.

Among all Americans, 23% have a positive opinion of her, while 34% have a negative one.

The intensity of feelings toward the New York congresswoman is stronger on the political right than on the left: 46% of Democrats have a positive opinion of her, while 64% of Republicans have a negative one.

I think the GND is just a political stunt but I have a positive opinion of her.

I believe she will be in Congress for a long time.

Also from NBC another poll with twice the number of interviews

https://www.surveymonkey.com/curiosity/axios-poll-alexandria-ocasio-cortez/

Poll: 3/4 Dems would consider backing Ocasio-Cortez for president — but she's not old enough


SAMPLE SIZE: 2,277

The Wall Street poll had 1000 interviews only 284 were Democratic

I love how she responds to GOP BS

This is what polling is all about,notice the Juice to the Right. 28%+ Dems. NBC got what they paid for and the Production Staff just created several days of Programming talking points. And that was so evident Yesterday.

it will all be revealed.

The cost of the waiting game is disconcerting, to say the very least.

sa & ru set their nuke ambitions into action in 2015. ru & egypt signed a nuke deal afterwards.

✨✨🙏✨✨ the players stop short of letting all hell break loose.

well, time for bp meds & meditation.

One media diversion after another. This week it will be close the Borders,yep,all them evil Mexicans are coming to get your Women and Children.

We are talking a Business disruptions of 2 billion dollars a day minimum. Don't think Carl Ichan's Navistar Truck Company will stand for that.

The oligarchs are too busy overseeing the installation of landmines around their palace bunkers

😂😂😂

Zuckerberg built his on Kuai then sued the families who have owned parcels since the 1800s. Rapacious much?

Someone must wonder if she will try to run for president soon, which is again odd since she is well-underage.

So, who's asking, and why?

Trump's recent lie is typical:
"Think about the fact that every mainstream, leading Democratic contender is taking the advice of a freshman congresswoman who three weeks ago didn’t know the three branches of government...that’s pretty scary."


Fortunately, so far, they've mostly just given her views more attention. And she punches back as needed and quite effectively.
