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.

    Obama certainly acted like a centrist but that’s not how he campaigned which means that’s not what won him the election.

      Again, irrelevant. Also, he won twice, so his initial campaign wasn’t the end all be all, either.

        It’s only irrelevant if you’re intentionally ignoring facts which disagree with your conclusion

          Nope. It doesn’t disagree with anything, it’s just irrelevant. Two admittedly centrist women missed the vote to the most vile candidate possible, while countless centrist men won to slightly farther right opponents. That math is crystal clear, and Obama’s first election has no bearing on that.
