A new poll by a political action committee opposing socialist U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., indicates only 11 percent of her constituents believe she has their best interests in mind.
And only 13 percent would vote for her for re-election.
The Washington Examiner reported the poll was conducted by StoptheAOC PAC.
“She’s a star on the national political stage, but Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is viewed skeptically back in her Queens and Bronx 14th Congressional District, according to a new door-to-door survey,” the report said.
The poll found only 21 percent view her favorably.
The PAC has launched a complaint against her over allegations of federal elections law violations.
“A previous survey by the group found that residents were upset with the lawmaker’s opposition to bringing an Amazon headquarters to the district. In part due to Ocasio-Cortez’s complaints, Amazon backed out of moving to her district,” the Examiner said.
The founder of the PAC, Dan Backer, has been integral to the FEC complaint against her campaign.
The survey shows a full 42 percent aren’t even “familiar” with her, and 51 percent have an unfavorable view.
Thirty-three percent already are ready to vote against her.
“Facing an electorate more concerned with results than retweets, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has problems in her backyard. Despite her online notoriety and fandom in the national new progressive movement, the citizens of New York District 14 want a representative aligned with their values,” said the survey analysis.
Her district is the one that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., famously said could be won by a glass of water on the ballot as long as it had a “D” on it.
The congresswoman’s far-left agenda and eye-popping statements have made her a center of attention in her first year in Congress.
