It is unclear how much of the drop in popularity can be attributed to the representative's opposition to Amazon's plans to build an office in Queens.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has grown less popular in New York – even among Democrats – following Amazon's decision to scrap its planned offices in Queens.
Ocasio-Cortez's support has dipped among key constituencies since January. Her net favorability — positive minus negative ratings — among Democrats fell to +17 in March from +46 in January. In New York City, she had only a +6 rating in March, down from a +32 in January. Ocasio-Cortez represents parts of the city's Queens and Bronx boroughs.
Still, her resistance to the Amazon project may not have helped. Only 21 percent of registered voters — including just 27 percent of New York City respondents — called Amazon's decisions to scrap its plans"good" for New York. New York City and the state offered Amazon $3 billion in performance-based incentives to build part of its second headquarters in the city. The project was expected to create 25,000 jobs.
