I used to be shocked Biden was #1 in 2019. Turns out, name recognition matters more than anything else, and Harris had a historic campaign budget. (Not that it was used well, but AOC has never had that level of PR)
But you are commenting on Lemmy, which i’d argue makes you atypical and your media/news consumption probably looks very different to that of the average American.
that’s not because of pr or an ad campaign, that’s because she says important things when nobody else will, and because the gop has had a massive hate/racist fit about her for years…
No, That’s a PR company, which specializes in the abstract concept of relating to the public. If you just say PR you’re not talking about an organization
I’m genuinely skeptical that most polls are an accurate sampling of the population. Most people I know would never sit through a phone poll. Most polls reek of phishing. One of the very first phone polls said that Dewy would beat Truman in a landslide. It was completely wrong because it was predominantly rich people who had the phones to even answer the polls.
Who has the time for polls? Who drops by the candidate booths at the state fair? It’s a type for sure.
The only poll I have been a part of all last year was a phone poll entirely about optometrists and eye appointments and how they should be handled in the healthcare system. I couldn’t even finish it because the entire things was just… painful to go through.
I’m not. Most people are very passive politically and only know what the evening nees mentions. Most of them probably don’t know who AOC is (or perhaps only knows her by ‘AOC’ and the forms used her full name).
Harris is their default poll vote because they recognise her name
I’m shocked that Harris is in first place…

Not so sure about that, I knew who Cortez was years before I recognized Harris and I’m not in either of their districts.

Technically I’m on Mbin, but I get your point.
That said, I was hearing her name in broadcast and print news reports way before Harris and I visit a wide variety of websites.

How is speaking to the public not public relations?..

That is not even remotely true.
That’s an extremely dumb, and wrong, hill to die on. But go ahead.
I only knew about Cortez because my MAGA cousins would rant about her and the Green New Deal and I decided to look her up.
“Ehrmagerd we’ll be forced to live in unpolluted cities where everything’s within a 15-minute walk! I’d rather die!”
I’m not,

Current DNC leadership might push Hillary for 2028
Insert I’m tired boss meme here.
Not a chance. They’ll go for Biden.

It’s a meaningless poll that reflects name recognition and little else.
