New post: "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now as unpopular as Ted Cruz during 2013 government shutdown over Obamacare defunding" washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/alexan…
Note:I deleted an earlier tweet & fixed headline and story, bc though Ocasio-Cortez has a higher unfavorable rating, she has a slightly higher favorable rating than Cruz did and they're both -10 on net. So fair to say she's AS unpopular, not MORE unpopular washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/alexan…
Ocasio-Cortez has a -10 favorability rating. That's the same as Ted Cruz in Oct. 2013, during height of outrage over a government shutdown he was widely blamed for. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/alexan…
In modern politics, being net unpopular hasn't proved as significant as it once was, as Trump showed, you can succeed even at highest level as long as you can motivate a core of loyal and passionate followers. So AOC's national polling may not be barrier washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/alexan…
That said, AOC's national unpopularity should be reflected in profiles -- on both right and left -- that refer to her as "likable" and "relatable." For a solid plurality of Americans, she is neither washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/alexan…
I mean, it really is just incredible for AOC, who has been in the House for less than 3 months, to have a 41% unfavorable rating. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/alexan…
