    This poll is pretty pointless, as far as actually getting to know who people specifically want. The top runner this far out is pretty much always the last person to have run, because the political climate hadn’t changed that much and nobody has campaigned for the next nomination yet.

    The important takeaway is that AOC, and presumably progressivism more generally, is getting more popular.

      Embarrassing (for me)… upon actually reading the article, the headline is almost misleading. AOC has the highest net favorability of them all, and Harris is only past her due to name recognition.

      I’m baffled how there is that many people unaware of AOC though.

        That’s alright, happens to the best of us.

        As for AOC’s recognition, It’s not too surprising, given that she’s a House Rep. Who hasn’t held a leadership role. I’d bet that a lot of people haven’t even heard of Hakeem jeffries, and he’s the party leader in the House. The last time a House Rep. Got elected President was in 1880, with James Garfield. As time goes on though, her notoriety is likely to keep increasing. As will her popularity, I suspect, or at least I hope.
