Schumer underwater with NY voters
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) might be the Senate’s top Democrat, but a new poll suggests his grip on power is slipping fast.
A survey conducted by Data for Progress shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Schumer by a whopping 19 points in a hypothetical 2028 Democratic primary matchup. While the longtime New York senator still holds the title of Majority Leader, his popularity among the party’s base appears to be cratering.
Between March 26 and 31, 767 likely Democratic primary voters in New York were asked who they would support in a Schumer vs. AOC primary. The results: 55% for Ocasio-Cortez, just 36% for Schumer.
Those numbers weren’t an outlier either — the poll found Schumer had the highest disapproval rating of any Democratic figure tested. By contrast, Ocasio-Cortez had one of the highest favorables, trailing only Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
...
I have never thought of AOC being smart enough for the job of senator. I guess it shows something about the current disfavor of Schumer.
