NY-SEN: AOC leads Schumer in head-to-head New York primary matchup by double digits

[RandySF]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading Chuck Schumer by double digits in a new head-to-head poll of the 2028 New York primary.

The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided.

The poll is the latest sign that Schumer’s standing among the Democratic base has taken a hit since he voted to advance a GOP funding bill last month that avoided a government shutdown. The fact that Data for Progress conducted and released the poll also underscores that liberal organizations are continuing to look for ways to prod Schumer to take a tougher stance against President Donald Trump.

“This poll really does show that Democrats are united in just wanting to stand up, wanting to fight, wanting to see someone taking a stand for them,” said Danielle Deiseroth, executive director of Data for Progress.

4. Time for the old guard to move on

We need people with energy and fight., not a capitulator.

8. Agreed.

Not all but some of the long term members don't realize these aren't the old times where they could go out and cut deals with the other side playing golf or having brunch together at a fancy restaurant.

What part of the Republicans aren't interested in the two party system, and hope to destroy the Constitution and representational government entirely, don't they get.

There is no other way but to stand up to them or get trampled under their jackboots.

If there are still elections, and I am still alive then Cortez has my vote in the primaries.

Bernie Sanders -“Recent polls show that only 15% of Americans support increasing military aid to Netanyahu.

Yet, Congress just rubber stamped Trump's plan to send $8.8 billion more.

Republicans and Democrats took a constitutional oath to represent the American people, not AIPAC. “
