POLL: Trump’s favorability higher than Ocasio-Cortez’s — in New York!

Who has a higher favorability rating with New Yorkers: President Trump or socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

Interestingly enough: President Trump.

A new poll by the Siena College Research Institute finds Trump has a 36 percent favorability rating among New Yorkers, while Ocasio-Cortez’s is only 31 percent.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer enjoys the highest favorability rating at 51 percent.

“Schumer’s favorability rating moved back into positive territory after being break-even last month. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s favorability rating is unchanged from last month, and nearly one-quarter of voters do not know enough about her – despite her presidential campaign – to have an opinion,” Siena College pollster Steve Greenberg says.

“Ocasio-Cortez, with a negative 31-44 percent favorability rating, is as well known to statewide voters after three months in office as Gillibrand is after ten years as senator. While Democrats view Ocasio-Cortez favorably, independents view her unfavorably more than two-to-one and Republicans view her unfavorably, 68-6 percent. She is viewed slightly favorably in New York City but strongly unfavorably upstate and in the downstate suburbs.”
