A new Data for Progress poll shows her leading Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer by 19 points in a hypothetical 2028 Democratic primary. The poll found Ocasio-Cortez popular among nearly every demographic, especially voters under 45, while Schumer\u2019s approval has declined due to his perceived alignment with corporate interests and MAGA Republicans.<\/p>\n
Despite his seniority, many voters see Schumer as out of touch. Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s favorability surged after voters learned about her background and positions.<\/p>\n
Political analysts suggest that if she runs, Schumer may be forced to step aside, as attacks on her could backfire. The poll signals a generational and ideological shift within the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
