AOC not having a great week.
According to a poll released this week, conservative Texas Rep. Mayra Flores has a higher net favorability rating among Hispanics than New York Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Media strategist Giancarlo Sopo said his firm teamed up with polling firm, WPA Intelligence, “to conduct a national poll of Hispanic voters on behalf of Bienvenido U.S.”
“One of our most interesting findings,” he said, was that Flores, the first Republican elected in the Rio Grande Valley in her Texas district, “has a higher net favorability than AOC among Hispanics who know them.”
This certainly follows similar stories citing polls that show Hispanics abandoning the Democratic Party.
“The poll also found that more than 60% of Hispanics said they are bothered by the direction of the Democratic Party; 57% support tougher border security measures, and the majority, by a 3-to-1 margin, support more oil and gas exploration in Texas,” according to The Political Insider.
“Democrats assume Hispanics are monolithic, but we are as diverse as America, and we are seeing the momentum build all across all our Latino communities for conservative candidates,” Orlando Sanchez, founder of Texas Latino Conservatives, said in a recent statement. “The more we vote our values, the more we vote Republican.”
AOC has had a string of difficult town hall events recently —many of which her own constituents showed up to protest her actions both nationally (in her home district) and internationally (votes on Ukraine).
It's been a rough week for @AOC – and a good week for @MayraFlores2022 https://t.co/8YAAfVss7Q
