Schumer Behind Ocasio-Cortez By Double Digits In New Dem Primary Poll

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s days in Congress may be numbered, according to a shocking new poll.

A survey by Data for Progress indicates that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is ahead of Schumer by 19 points in a hypothetical 2028 Democratic primary contest. Although Schumer still retains his title as leader of his party in the upper chamber, his popularity among the party’s base appears to be rapidly declining.

Between March 26 and 31, 767 likely Democratic primary voters in New York were asked whom they would support in a hypothetical primary matchup between Schumer and Ocasio-Cortez. The results were striking: 55% backed Ocasio-Cortez, while only 36% chose Schumer.

The findings were not anomalies. The poll revealed that Schumer had the highest disapproval rating among all Democratic figures tested, whereas Ocasio-Cortez ranked among the most popular, trailing only Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

The decline comes at a politically perilous moment. Schumer recently joined Senate Republicans in supporting a spending bill negotiated with President Trump, drawing sharp criticism from progressives who argue that Democrats should take a more aggressive stance against the president’s mounting political influence.

A staggering 84% of respondents believe that Washington Democrats aren’t doing enough to stand up to Trump and the MAGA movement—a sentiment that serves as a full-blown alarm bell for establishment Democrats.
