U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is confident she would “stomp” Vice President JD Vance in a presidential election, and the left ate it up.
The media predictably ran with the scenario, touting a questionable poll that showed the New York Democrat ahead of the VP in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup. Headlines breathlessly reported on the AOC lead over Vance, while articles delved into the results from The Argument/Verasight survey, released on Tuesday.
The poll showed Ocasio-Cortez leading Vance 51% to 49% in the hypothetical 2028 matchup. While the poll comes years early, Ocasio-Cortez was asked about the results, according to a video posted on social media.

Though she scoffed at surveys conducted this far out, she then offered her own prediction for a possible contest between herself and the vice president, whom many see as the likely Republican nominee in 2028.
“Do you think that you could beat JD Vance in a head-to-head race for president, as polling suggests, in 2028?” Pablo Manríquez, the editor of Migrant Insider, asked the far-left congresswoman outside the Capitol on Wednesday.
“Listen, these polls, like three years out, are, you know, they are what they are,” AOC replied. “But let the record show I would stomp him. I would stomp him!”
The two-point gap between the two in the poll results was “within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied,” Newsweek noted.

The survey showed that 57 percent of white voters said they would vote for Vance, while 43 percent chose Ocasio-Cortez.
“But she had a commanding lead among Black voters (79 percent) and Hispanic voters (64 percent),” Newsweek reported.
“There were also gender splits in the polling – 54 percent of men would vote for Vance and 56 percent of women for Ocasio-Cortez,” the outlet noted. “College-educated voters also said they were more likely to vote for Ocasio-Cortez, with 56 percent siding with her and 44 percent with Vance.”
Despite the media’s touting of the poll and AOC’s edge over Vance, social media users had a different take.
Kind of wondering if we ever had press who really knew much of anything.
