The 74 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults who say they would vote for her for president includes 17 percent who say they would “definitely”do so.

The poll also finds Ocasio-Cortez more popular among Democrats than Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and nearly as popular as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

In the poll, 70 percent of the Democrats and Democratic leaners had a favorable impression of Ocasio-Cortez. That compares to 64 percent for Schumer and 75 percent for Pelosi.
