Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) leads among young Democratic voters in a hypothetical 2028 presidential primary, according to a new survey.The Yale Youth Poll, released on Monday, shows Ocasio-Cortez with a double-digit lead over former Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other potential contenders when Democrats under 35 are asked which hypothetical candidate they would support if the 2028 primary were held today. Among registered Democrats ages 18-22, 30 percent would back Ocasio-Cortez, 20 percent would support Harris and 12 percent would vote for Newsom. Among Democrats ages 23-29

.The Yale Youth Poll. Seriously? Wonder how this poll was framed? Color me not excited. And against letting 16 year olds vote.

AOC for president. Jasmine Crockett for Senate. The future of the Democratic party. Ridicule it all you like, but this is what's being pushed. By now, we have all seen how easy it is to influence people.

Keep saying. APC and the Crockett will be a dream team against say Vance/ Don Jr.

''Among registered Democrats ages 18-22, 30 percent would back Ocasio-Cortez''
I'm willing to bet they couldn't give you 3 reasons why they would vote for her. Maybe they just figure she's just as stupid as they are...which she is.

Regardless of the poll's author, I believe it. Watch some videos of random college kids trying to answer questions about anything other than Taylor Swift.

A stupid, mouthy extreme leftist barmaid. You can't make up things stranger than what they really do.

I have to say --- the debates between the barmaid and JD (or Rubio) would be highly entertaining though. Absolutely Must See TV.

I don'r see Don Jr. as VP/firsf in line of succession. He is not PDJT.

Yale, if this is the best you can do, any taxpayer funding you receive should be eliminated. Frankly, I support removing any accreditation you have as an institution of learning. Please find some sense, and get some humility to recognize you are in serious need of any knowledge of life.

I'm sure these poll results please Chuck Schumer even more than AOC.

She won't be the nominee, but we can dream.
Youngsters equate social media popularity with ability.

This result either proves the utter waste of time of conducting polls or the complete failure of our institutions of education. One minute of listening to this donkey-faced fraud exposes her for what she is.

Biden was the test case for the "perfect Democrat as President" - a figurehead to allow party apparatchiks to dream up whatever wild, leftist policies they want and use the figurehead's autopen to sign for everything they want. AOC is just the next figurehead.

We reduced the voting age from 21 to 18 when we really should have upped it from 21 to 24.

OK, the Cortez twit is the "favorite," but look at the competition. Harris is a laughable loser, followed by Newsie, the "hero" of the Palisades fire. However, Republicans, known for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, have no reason to be complacent or smug.

I think it's a huge mistake to mock the Dems here. They've discovered the power of telegenicsand we'd better pay attention. They realize if a candidate looks good, a certain proportion of voters will just listen and agree. They've also figured out that pitting youth and new ideas against stodgy, old men promoting backroom deals is an easy sell. They've signaled their approach; I hope we're listening and have a plan.

The popularity makes sense when you consider that AOC falls into the same IQ bracket as the teenagers. They are all competing for the same handholds to keep from sliding the rest of the way down the left side of the Bell Curve. Don't be surprised that when Mamdani totally destroys New York City, he will be running for POTUS in 2028. I have already begun my search for a home in Greenland.

They have to be kidding. Has she ever sweat a payroll or managed more than maybe five people?. The presidency has a huge responsibility and we need thoughtful and honest leader. She is a joke and also not a very honest person if the stories about her stealing her colleagues tips when she was a bartender are true,

It's frightening that even 1% would consider her to be qualified to be President.
