Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is polling awfully in the New York district she was elected to represent and it’s not difficult to understand why.
Every time she is in the news, it’s because she’s talking about some national issue. She doesn’t seem interested at all in doing the job she was elected to do. She thinks she is some sort of national figure and the media’s adoration of her has only made it worse.
Is there any wonder why her constituents feel ignored?
The Washington Examiner reports:
Poll: AOC disliked, distrusted, unwanted in her own NY district
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.
It found that she has a low 21% favorability rating, that just 11% believe she has their best interests in mind, and that only 13% would vote to reelect her.
The survey of registered voters was conducted by the political action committee targeting her with a Federal Election Commission complaint, Stop The AOC PAC.
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.

A quick look at her Twitter feed shows what she really cares about. She’s not tweeting about her district:
If a Schedule I drug shows promise in treating [PTSD, severe depression, opioid addiction], then perhaps it is not the drug that is “morally wrong,” but the law, the schedule – the statute.
It’s time to end the War on Drugs. https://t.co/AApVRqBCHu

Right, bc sucking Puerto Ricans – full US citizens – dry while closing public schools, building fossil fuel pipelines against their will, & not allowing them to vote so Vulture Funds can levg the island’s illegal debt for Wall St profit is… old fashioned American capitalism? 🤔 https://t.co/Qbc8FkuMR5

If a person is working 40h/week & is paid so little that they need gov help to make ends meet, it’s not the person that’s a weight on our system – it’s the company.
People need to be paid a living wage. We stand up to co’s that rely on food stamps to make up for their low wages.

We need to talk about healthcare of incarcerated women + people.
Federal statutes prevent funding reproductive healthcare in prisons. That’s wrong. The moment we exempt some, we threaten healthcare for us all.
Let’s repeal Hyde & end our inhumane system of mass incarceration. https://t.co/aXohIPU84G

She deserves to be voted out of office. Hopefully, she will be.
