Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

      No.

      People just don’t understand how stats actually works.

      What you’re doing is no different than claiming any other science you don’t understand is fake

      Yes, but last election we could only muster two years of campaigning. We have to keep extending the election news cycle, since we build up a tolerance, and so it takes us all longer to create detailed suicide plans.

      The only polling that has any almost meaningful numbers is post vote polling but even that is suspect
