AOC Leads Schumer by 19 Points in 2028 Poll

A new poll by Data for Progress indicates that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a significant lead over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a hypothetical 2028 New York Democratic primary, with 55% support compared to Schumer's 36%. The poll highlights growing dissatisfaction among Democrats with Schumer, particularly after his vote to advance a Republican-backed funding bill, which many viewed as yielding too much to President Trump's agenda. Ocasio-Cortez's support spans across various demographics, with substantial leads among young voters and minority groups. While Schumer has already filed for reelection, Ocasio-Cortez has not committed to a Senate run. The poll reflects a broader desire among Democrats for more assertive leadership against Trump and signals potential challenges for Schumer's political future.
