      In a pair of surveys that tested the limits of “vote blue no matter who” against a conventional conservative Republican opponent, Discussion Thread users expressed overwhelmingly negative opinion of the insurgent Democratic nominee in New York’s 13th district, even as they ultimately selected her by a wide margin in a hypothetical presidential race against Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

      Nonetheless, the creator confesses confusion over how the results — which saw impressive turnout — synthesize with the [previous set of strawpolls](https://old.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1uf2pvo/discussion_thread/otoyeb9/), which tested an Ocasio-Cortez–Rubio matchup. The former’s margin in a hypothetical head-to-head was actually slightly smaller than Avila Chevalier’s, despite vastly better favorability.

      In fact, he is tempted to run the questions again in a unified Google Forms survey in an attempt to resolve the apparent massive statistical disparity, which — stuck in the formal third-person — he is only able to indirectly ask voters to approve.

      As usual, respondents were oversampled from !ping STRAWPOLLS.
