According to an internal poll within the Democratic party, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are decidedly radioactive to swing voters, who have a highly unfavorable view of both according to Axios.
In short, it's a bloodbath - with just 22% of those polled having a favorable view of AOC, and 9% when it came to Omar. In other words - and it couldn't be any more clear, moderates don't like the 'new face' of the Democratic party.
The poll — taken in May, before Speaker Pelosi's latest run-in with AOC and the three other liberal House freshmen known as "The Squad" — included 1,003 likely general-election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education.
These are the "white, non-college voters" who embraced Donald Trump in 2016 but are needed by Democrats in swing House districts.
The group that took the poll shared the results with Axios on the condition that it not be named, because the group has to work with all parts of the party.
