3% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2028-11-08.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 3% — Ocasio-Cortez must first secure the Democratic nomination against mainstream moderates before winning swing states in November. Winning requires capturing the Democratic nomination first, where establishment figures and governors usually block left-wing rebels. Her national unfavorables and House-only legislative background create severe structural headwinds across decisive Rust Belt swing states. A massive progressive wave and an explicit endorsement from labor coalitions by early 2028 would be necessary to lift these odds.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 3% — She'd need to win a crowded Dem primary and a general election, both uncertain this early. AOC hasn't declared, faces potential Senate run or strong primary rivals like Newsom/Whitmer/Shapiro. Base rate for any single named politician winning a presidential election ~2 years out is very low, typically under 5%. Her national polling and swing-state viability lag establishment figures; a major shift in Dem primary dynamics would change this.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 6% — Her path requires winning a Democratic nomination against a broad field, then carrying a closely divided general election. Modern open presidential contests rarely produce a House member as nominee; Obama is the main recent exception after winning a Senate seat. She must enter, build national coalition support, and win primaries beginning in early 2028, with party leaders and donors mattering heavily. A major Democratic backlash against establishment alternatives or an unusually strong progressive primary surge would raise the odds.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 3% — AOC must run, seize the Dem nomination from governors/VPs, then win the Electoral College. No sitting House member has won the presidency in over a century; Democrats nominate governors or VPs. She remains unannounced and her left-wing brand polls poorly in the Midwest and Sun Belt states needed. A 2026 midterm wipeout of other Democrats or a surprise primary collapse would be the only real mover.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 4% — AOC must first win a Democratic primary against a deep establishment bench, then beat a GOP incumbent in a 2028 environment nobody can yet read. No sitting House member has won the presidency since James Garfield in 1880; the Senate or a governorship is the modern launchpad. She would likely face Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Andy Beshear in a 2028 primary where Super Tuesday states and donor networks favor governors. Her national favorability sits in the high 30s with intense GOP opposition, well below the ~50% floor usually needed to win a general election.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 2% — She must clear both a primary and general election while being among the most polarizing figures in modern politics. No candidate this far from the median voter has won a modern general election; McGovern and Mondale lost in landslides from less extreme positions. She'd need to beat likely primary rivals (Newsom, Whitmer, Buttigieg, or others) who have broader coalition appeal and establishment backing. A Democratic loss in 2028 or a strong Republican economy would push the party toward a centrist nominee, further reducing her path.
