Ilhan Omar's poll numbers???

Is there any truth at all to Chump's claim of a 9% rating for Omar and a 20% rating for AOC? I tried to do a Google search but came up with nothing but ultra far right wing garbage like ONN and Daily Wire. But is there any truth to that or is there any better sources I can use?

If they stay in the limelight in a conflict with Democratic leadership... they could definitely influence the election beyond their own districts.

But it's from "an anonymous Democratic group" - and the only methodology that was released was that it was ~1,000 "likely general-election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education" and knew of the two outspoken lawmakers.
