Ocasio Cortez Latest Polls
Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday implored Republican Sen. Josh Hawley to resign, and a new poll released Thursday shows that a majority of Hawley's constituents in Missouri agree that the lawmaker should quit following his role in inciting an attack on the U.S. Capitol.
According to a survey (pdf) of Missouri voters conducted by Data for Progress and MoveOn, 51% of likely voters in the state—91% of Democrats, 52% of self-identified independents, and 20% of Republicans—believe that Hawley should resign immediately as a consequence for sowing doubt about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Like several additional GOP lawmakers, Hawley has faced criticism for baselessly challenging the legitimacy of President-elect Joe Biden's decisive electoral win, an effort that critics say implicates them in last week's right-wing assault on the halls of Congress.
- Ocasio-Cortez was the subject of another question asking respondents if they held “a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, or very unfavorable impression” of the congresswoman. Her “very favorable” and “somewhat favorable” results registered at 18% and 19% respectively.
- While neither politician crossed the 40 favorability percent threshold, Trump had the backing of 36 percent of people surveyed, compared to Ocasio-Cortez's 31 percent. Trump, though, triggered a.

Since the January 6 insurrection, Hawley has tried to distance himself from the actions of the pro-Trump mob, yet even in the aftermath of the deadly riot, the lawmaker still—alongside 139 House and seven other Senate Republicans—voted against certifying the Electoral College results.

While Hawley has tried to portray his objections to Biden's victory as a principled stance in defense of 'election integrity,' Rep. Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) reminded the Missouri Republican of the infamous photograph in which Hawley is depicted raising his fist 'in solidarity with white supremacists who attacked our Capitol.'
Hey Sen @HawleyMO, I hate to break it to you, but this is, in fact, you.
You raised your fist in solidarity with white supremacists who attacked our Capitol.
While you may politically regret what you’ve revealed about yourself, you still have no place in public office.

Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal fails to pass first Senate vote
Former EPA deputy assistant administrator Mandy Gunasekara reacts to the Green New Deal vote.
Most voters either do not like -- or simply do not know -- freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
That’s according to a new Quinnipiac University poll that quizzed both Democrats and Republicans on the 29-year-old New Yorker who, at least on Capitol Hill and in the media, is a political sensation.
'All is definitely not A-OK for AOC. Most voters either don't like the firebrand freshman Congresswoman or don't know who she is,' Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.
The polling unit reported that Ocasio-Cortez received a 'negative 23 - 36 percent favorability rating, with 38 percent who haven't heard enough about her to form an opinion.'

The same poll showed 33 percent think she's been good for the Democratic Party, while 36 percent say the opposite.
A total of 1,358 voters from across the country were surveyed for the latest Quinnipiac Poll between March 21 and 25. According to Quinnipiac, 559 “Democrats and Democratic leaners” and 582 “Republicans and Republican leaners” took part.

The same poll pegged former Vice President Joe Biden as the Democratic front-runner for 2020, with 29 percent of “Democrats and Democratic leaners” saying they would give him their vote in the primary -- if he were to join the race.
Sen. Bernie Sanders came in second, followed by Beto O’Rourke and Sen. Kamala Harris.
The Quinnipiac results came on the heels of another negative poll for Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.
The rockstar freshman saw her unfavorable rating spike in a Gallup poll released early this month, with most of the public viewing her negatively rather than favorably.
The poll showed that Ocasio-Cortez's unfavorable rating has risen by 15 points since last September, when she had yet to win the general election, increasing from 26 percent to 41 percent of the American adults polled.
She has also managed to increase her favorability rating, but only by 7 points. About 31 percent of surveyed people view her favorably, compared to 24 percent in September.
Still, the poll showed Ocasio-Cortez has become more widely recognized across the country. More surveyed people know the New York Democrat than knew Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz as freshmen.
