The survey asked respondents to identify figures in the Amazon debate as either a hero, villain or role player. Twelve percent called Ocasio-Cortez a hero, while 24 percent said she was a role player.

Thirty-four percent of New York voters polled listed local Queens activists as villains. Slightly less than 30 percent of respondents viewed both Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) as villains, according to The Associated Press.

Amazon itself was considered a villain by 26 percent of respondents.

The survey's release comes more than a month after Amazon abruptly canceled its plans to build a second headquarters in New York City.

Ocasio-Cortez, a rising progressive star in the Democratic Party who became the youngest woman elected to Congress last year, celebrated the news at the time.

"Today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world," Ocasio-Cortez, who repeatedly criticized the deal, said on Twitter.

Ocasio-Cortez was among many New York politicians who denounced the state's deal with Amazon. Many of the critics condemned the move to give Amazon $3 billion in state and city incentives.

Siena College found that 67 percent of respondents viewed Amazon's exit as a detrimental move for the state.

The survey was conducted from March 10-14 among 700 registered New York voters. The margin of error is 4.2 percentage points.
