 Michelle Obama only Democrat to beat Trump in new poll

Former first lady Michelle Obama is the only Democrat to overtake former President Trump in a new poll released Tuesday.

The survey, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, found that Obama was the only Democrat to surpass Trump in a hypothetical matchup, garnering 50 percent support to his 39 percent. Only 4 percent of respondents said they would not vote at all.

Meanwhile, the poll found that in a head-to-head matchup, President Biden and Trump are neck-and-neck. They each received 40 percent of the vote, while 8 percent said they would vote for someone else, and another 8 percent said they would not vote.

Obama was the top choice among Democrats to replace Biden on the 2024 ticket, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released in February. Despite her popularity, the former first lady has repeatedly said she will not be pursuing a bid for the White House.

The poll comes after a rocky debate performance from Biden last week, where he appeared to stumble over his words and lacked energy. The poor showing has prompted some Democrats to call for him to step down from the ballot and make room for someone else take the reins.

Other Democrats floated as potential replacements to Biden in the poll included Vice President Harris, who received 42 percent in a head-to-head matchup with Trump, who received 43 percent. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) trailed Trump by 3 percentage points and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) trailed by 5 points in a hypothetical contest with the presumptive GOP nominee.

While the Reuters/Ipsos poll does not show Biden losing ground behind Trump, other post-debate polls have showed that he is. The survey did find, however, that about one in three Democrats believe Biden should drop out of the race.

The White House and the Biden campaign have tried to quell concerns about the debate performance in recent days and have dismissed the calls for the president to suspend his campaign.

The poll was conducted online July 1-2 among 1,070 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

The dems undoubtedly are begging Big Mike to jump in.

"The poll was conducted online July 1-2 among 1,070 U.S. adults "

Not likely voters, or even voters. Very suspect poll.

Nonetheless, I do think Michelle is their best option, in theory. But I suspect there might be some skeletons in his closet.

Yep...there's at least one bone tucked away in there.

Doesn't matter. There will only be 3 months to expose those skeletons and the hype about the first black woman president will override all during that time. This wouldn't have worked if it had been against practically anyone else but Trump as the opponent.

So they're saying in a man to man matchup the dems prefer Big Mike? C'mon man! I don't need a poll to tell me that democrats will always vote against Trump, even if the opponent was the Ayatollah.

Don't let them change the narrative....

I don't know why this Big Mike talk keeps popping up.   No way she would give up her new life of luxury to go back and live in that dump at 1600 Penn Av.

Who let you set the narrative?

From my post you're responding to, THIS    is the narrative the fascist liberals are taking control of @jmyrlefuller   

Byron Donalds
@ByronDonalds

It doesn't matter if they keep Biden.
It doesn't matter if they elevate Harris.
It doesn't matter if they choose someone else.

Democrats embraced a radical agenda.

Their agenda has destroyed America.

And their same agenda remains in place NO MATTER WHO the Democrat nominee is.

Well, @DB ... you get the points.
Seems like they're priming the pump for Big Mike.

@charliekirk11
Ex-Obama Senior Advisor David Axelrod says Michelle Obama is NOT going to run for POTUS in 2024:

“She never was interested in a political life. Even when Barack Obama was a young politician, she really didn’t participate much in his campaigns. I was with him in a Senate campaign in 2004, I think she showed up twice in the whole campaign on election nights. So, you know, she is not someone who likes politics."

"They feel that they gave 10 years of their life to this. And I’m sure she feels as Barbara Bush did when she said there has to be someone other than the Bush’s and the Clintons who could be President of the United States. My guess is that’s her attitude."

“I have as much chance of dancing in the Bolshoi Ballet next year than that she would be President of the United States."

I disagree. Barrack has been leading from the sidelines all along -- Big Mike will jump in.  Mike has name recognition, the Obama's were/are very popular among the DEMS, they have Soros' and other globalist's backing and if they get in, they will complete Barrack's transformation of American to bring this Republic down.

I've been predicting this for over a year or so -- whether or not Mike actually jumps into the race, obviously is yet to be seen.  Just my opinion and they way that I've seen things heading.

[LMAO]

You sure about that?

Yes

[libertybele]

Yes

I 2nd that motion.

[LMAO]

How do you force Michelle to run? Gunpoint?

Even if they got her to grudgingly run, she won't win. You have to have your heart and soul into winning if you run for president. She has stated several times she has no desire to run for office

When Wellstone got killed before the 2002 midterms, they dragged a reluctant Mondale out of mothballs to run and he lost

I'm so confident of that I'd bet a quarter on it... LOL... Not much more... I do think that's the deadliest scenario for Trump assuming Big Mike can give a speech without a teleprompter. The Democrat backchannels are likely on fire right now...

This is why I like Byron Donalds! He sees the bigger picture.

I think once people learn that over 80% of all new jobs have been filled with immigrants rather than native born Americans and that we have also lost 1 million full time jobs since the China Virus happened it won't matter who the Rats put up as their nominee.

Also, I believe there are 3 States that can't legally change the ballot and Nevada is one of them.

I agree she'd do worse than people realize. But if she polls better than all Dems, I feel like they'll find some way to get her in there.

Mike has spoken in front of crowds before and has been well accepted.  Keep in mind that Barrack would be front and center and in focus. The DEMS certainly must realize by now who's been running things since Joe took office.  Barrack was very popular -- as was Mike.

I'm hoping for a Trump/Donalds ticket. 

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I'm a pessimist I guess. But after the last 20 years... since 2008, who on God's green earth would be an optimist for the GOP?

[LMAO]

  Barrack was very popular -- as was Mike.

Yet Obama’s ratings in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, reflect a turnaround for him, not his norm. His average job approval rating across his presidency, 50 percent, is in the lower tier, alongside George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Harry Truman and Carter.

And throughout his presidency, more people said the country was heading in the wrong direction versus right direction pretty consistently


Also,, the Democrats lost more political seats nationwide under him than any other Democrat president in modern times
