Ocasio-Cortez became the youngest woman elected to Congress during last November's midterm elections. She's considered to be a rising progressive star in the Democratic party, and has used social media to become an advocate on a range of issues.

Responding to a Vox article in December daring her to run for president despite the age limitations, Ocasio-Cortez responded, "how about... no."



"The whole country JUST went through an exhausting midterm election. We need a break," she said on Twitter. "Can we instead talk about healthcare, a living wage, legalizing cannabis, GND, & other issues?"

The Survey Monkey poll was conducted among a population of 2,277 U.S. adults between Jan. 16 and 18. It has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Online polls typically reflect more self-elected participants than other polling methods.
