Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders , I-Vt. make their first stop in Las Vegas .

The pair are on a tour of the West that includes stops in Denver , Tucson and Tempe , Arizona .

They say they need a Democratic Party that fights harder for the working class, not just Republicans .

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats say they want congressional Democrats to stick to their positions even if that risks sacrificing bipartisan progress.

The polling mirrors backlash Democratic lawmakers have received at their own town hall events.

The frustration among Democratic voters and lawmakers alike intensified last week after Schumer led a group of Democrats to advance a Republican government funding bill backed by Trump to avert a government shutdown.
