What does the new Newsweek poll reveal about AOC and JD Vance?

Patrick Bet-David 0:00
According to a new poll from Newsweek, not Newsweek poll, Newsweek writes this article. I'll tell you who the poll is from. AOC officially leads J.D. Vance for the first time in 2028 election matchup. I'm sorry, what did you say, Pat? Yeah, exactly. The socialist, AOC, democratic socialist, leads J.D. Vance for the first time. You know, the Republicans, oh, J.D. Vance is a shoo-in. Oh, it's done. Oh, really? Yeah. All right. AOC, a slight lead over J.D. Vance in a hypothetical 2028 matchup. AOC edges the Republican nominee 51-49. In the argument Verisite survey released on Tuesday, however, the result was within the 2.7% point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote if the election was between the two of them.
Patrick Bet-David 1:06
So... The poll also found that Vance was more popular among white voters with 57% saying they would vote for him and 43% opting for Ocasio-Cortez. But she has a commanding lead with black voters, 79%. And with Hispanic voters, she's at 64%. Keep in mind, black voters, 79% just 20 years ago was 92%. just 10 years ago, was 88%. So even 79% is not as high as it once used to be just a decade ago. So, Tom, is this a real poll, and is this something the American people should be concerned about, specifically conservatives?
Tom 2:00
Well, yes and yes. Yes, it's a real poll. It was the Argument Verisite survey. And you could say, well, there's flaws in them. Typically, over time, they haven't been perfectly accurate. Yeah, well, but you know what? Think of these polls, Pat, as directional. That it's directional. So it's a real poll and people should be concerned about it. The other polls that are out there that have J.D. Vance versus the field, Vance holds his own at like 37, 39 percent. And the second in those polls is Gavin Newsom, like at 22 percent. So when you do Vance against the Democrat field, everybody goes, wow, he's way up on them. But you have to remember, everybody in those polls as Republican is saying Vance.

How statistically tied are AOC and JD Vance in the hypothetical matchup?

Tom 2:41
The Democrats are splitting their votes about everybody that's down there. And when you take off... excuse me, Gavin Newsom, then it's this. So whenever you do a head-to-head poll like this in the midst of going into weakness and midterm, I'm not surprised by the result. However, this should be a concern for the GOP and for Vance and people because what it means is a consolidated Democrat side right now is closer than you think and may even be a little bit ahead of Because the economy and affordability and some other issues are very real. So this is something to be concerned about. And she's capable. The other thing I look at now, this is me going to go below the surface. Who paid for this poll? Usually politicians pay for the polls.
Tom 3:26
The pollsters just don't go out and do it. They have donors and they have sponsors of the polls. So did some people on AOC side said, let's run this. And then they run it and they go out. And I found it was odd that Newsweek said we reached out to representatives by email outside of normal business hours. I hate it when the media does that. Oh, like I called them. We got no comment from AOC or Vance. We did send the email at midnight. So I got to be honest about that. That's such BS. What do you mean? Well, it's like they said, we couldn't get in touch with them. When did you set it? So they openly say, well, we did send the email after business hours.
Patrick Bet-David 4:05
Yeah, but to be fair to them, neither one of them responded. So it's not like they sided with somebody. By the way, is there a chance?
Tom 4:11
But they didn't respond at midnight.
Patrick Bet-David 4:12
Tom, did you find out who funded the poll? I'm actually curious.
Tom 4:15
No, but I want to know who funded the poll. How can we find out? Usually you can find in the fine print of the polls, I'm looking at what's called crosstabs and the fine print, said that this poll was sponsored by the United States DNC. Usually you can see the sponsors. Let me tell you... ABC will ask Ipsos, say, we'd like you to do a poll.
Patrick Bet-David 4:34
A part of me is... You know, the way I would do it, if this was the world I was in, you know how I would do it, Tom?
