Last time I checked, which was quite a while ago, AOC was one of if not the most popular politician in America. Bernie would’ve won in 2016 if not for DNC shenanigans, and there’s a strong possibility of the same for 2020.
Its not her fault, the Right has built up a caricature of her and their media has pushed that caricature for years. So as much as Democrats love her and her positions, Republicans hate her and the lies they are fed every day about her positions.
Can you define terms more specifically? Is AOC more popular in her district than others are in their districts? Or is AOC more popular across the country? I suspect the latter isn’t true, as she fills a relatively small niche. The former could be true, due to her district and how unpopular most politicians are.
As for Bernie, he might’ve won the primary, and possibly beaten Trump. But he would’ve been eaten alive by a Rubio or Christie, which is what everyone expected them to land on. Trump was widely regarded as a joke candidate that would disappear by election day.
To be clear, my declarative memory is complete garbage. I remember processes, and so remembering facts only comes easily in the contexts of those processes. With that said, I believe AOC is a very popular figure throughout the nation, with all of the caveats of being a political figure, and therefore divisive.
