For John, BLUF:  It is nice to sometimes have common ground.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Congressional Favorability Ratings

Here is the sub-headline:

Most Voters Have Unfavorable Opinion of AOC

From Rasmussen Reports, 26 February 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has only been in Congress a little more than two years, but the New York Democrat known as “AOC” is already widely disliked by voters, who prefer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the leader of congressional Democrats.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters have an unfavorable view of Ocasio-Cortez, including 44% whose view of her is Very Unfavorable.  Only 16% view have a Very Favorable view of AOC, and another 18% have a Somewhat Favorable view.

I know that in many circles it is popular to make unfavorable comments about Representative Ocasio-Cortez (including me in one of those circles).  However, there is usually something nice to say about everyone we meet.♠

In the case of AOC I would like to complement her for putting her sense of humanity ahead of politics with regard to the cold snap in Texas that left many without power and a few dead as a result of the cold.

The Representative used her fund raising power to raise, in a short period, over $3 Million for relief.  Then she flew to Texas and helping out in a Huston Food Bank distribution effort.  So, both fund raising and hard work for people in need.  Not fellow Democrats; fellow Americans.

Good work, AOC Regards  —  Cliff
