Summary

AOC Leads Schumer In New York Primary Poll As She Seeks To Revamp The Democratic Party

Concretely, a survey by Data for Progress showed the New York City lawmaker ahead by almost 20 percentage points, getting 55% of the vote compared to Schumer's 36%. The poll was conducted on March 31 among 767 likely voters. Politico, which first reported on the survey, described Data for Progress as a liberal firm. The fact that it conducted the poll, the outlet analyzed, "underscores that liberal organizations are continuing to look for ways to prod Schumer to take a tougher stance against President Donald Trump." The poll follows recent reports regarding the desire to elevate AOC's profile as a future leader of the party.

AOC leads Schumer in hypothetical NY primary poll, amid Dems' dissatisfaction with Senate leader

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leads Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a hypothetical 2028 New York Senate Democrat primary, according to a poll released Friday. The poll by the left-leaning think tank and polling firm Data for Progress shows 55% of likely Democratic voters said they would lean toward Ocasio-Cortez for Senate while 36% said they support Schumer. The poll comes amid the 74-year-old Schumer facing recent party backlash for supplying enough Senate Democrat votes for the passage of a GOP-led, stopgap spending bill earlier this month to avoid a government shutdown. The backlash has resulted in calls for Ocasio-Cortez to challenge him in the upcoming primary.

AOC is the early favorite against Schumer for New York Senate: poll

“Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leads in a new poll against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by double digits for a 2028 New York Senate matchup. A poll reported by Politico on Friday shows 55% of likely Democratic voters lean toward supporting the progressive rising star, whereas just 36% lean toward the longtime Senate leader. Nine percent remain undecided, according to a survey by the left-wing firm Data for Progress. The margin of error for the poll was plus or minus 4 percentage points. Whispers of a primary run against Schumer came a few weeks back after the Senate minority leader backed a GOP-led government funding bill to keep the government from shutting down, in turn, infuriating his party’s base. A handful of members called on the longtime leader to step down and encouraged Ocasio-Cortez to start a bid against him for 2028.
