The New York Democratic congresswoman would narrowly defeat the likely Republican nominee 51 percent to 49 percent, according to the poll.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

    America has repeatedly proven it will not vote for a woman, no matter how qualified she is

      We’ve proven we don’t like centrist women with status quo platforms pretty convincingly. Anything more is speculative imo.

        I guarantee you a far left woman like AOC is not going to get elected. Too many independents think she’s too far left. The right can win by being extreme right. The left can’t win by being extreme left. Not in this shithole.

          Nothing about affordable health care and not trying to actively poison the planet as much as possible is extreme left
