NH Poll Shows A Democrat Who Isn't Even Running Would Become The Frontrunner If She Entered Race
Townhall ^ | 10/15/2019 | Leah Barkoukis

The crop of Democrats currently vying for the party's nomination have nothing, apparently, on former first lady Michelle Obama, who would become the immediate frontrunner if she entered the race, a New Hampshire poll found.

The Boston Herald-Franklin Pierce University survey, which was released on Monday, shows Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and former Vice President Joe Biden at the top in New Hampshire, with 25 percent support, 22 percent, and 24 percent, respectively. 

Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll of New Hampshire (Oct 9-13, +/- 4.8 MOE).

25% Warren
24% Biden
22% Sanders
9% Buttigieg
5% Harris
2% Klobuchar
2% Booker

Adding Obama into the mix, however, changed that. If she hypothetically entered the race she would have 26 percent support of likely Democratic primary voters in the state, while Warren and Biden would have 20 percent support and Sanders, 15 percent. 

The FP/Boston Herald poll also has Bernie down by 8 points, with the top of the field now Warren at 24%, Biden 24%, and Sanders 22%.

Last but not least, they asked some hypotheticals: pic.twitter.com/kb1z0AUfbk— Jake Lahut (@JakeLahut) October 14, 2019

At this point, the poll is nothing but wishful thinking for Obama fans. The former first lady has said there is “zero chance” she would run in 2020.

These polls are pure idiocy. A Non candidate always polls higher because people just project their own view onto the non candidate. Once they actually have to start holding policy positions, they fall dramatically in polling.

I think it's distinctly possible that she'd run in 2024...but not next year.

She would be just like Alabama’s first female governor, Mrs. Wallace. She got elected, but sadly died not long after. But EVERYONE knew George would run the show, and she was just for SHOW. Same here. This slob would get elected, but Obammy would run the show. First Gentleman???? Give me a break.

A divided convention could bring in another person if they could not decide on one of the current crop. They would be allowed to do this because the courts already have settled decisions stating that the political situation needs two parties in any race, i.e. Lautenberg in NJ.

Just because she says no doesn’t mean the limelight of history would not beguile her.

Big Media needs him as former first “lady” for five more years, so they can keep telling us how much more beautiful he is than Melania Trump.

Actually, Valerie Jarrett would run the show just like she did during Barry’s 2 terms.

How old is Chelsea? When can we expect Hillary 2.0 to enter the lists? The Marxistas are not going to give up.

That is why the Democrats desperately want to hide their actual candidate until the Convention.
With no political record, the Low Information Voters will pretend he’s whatever they want him to be - just like Obama.

The Democrat Party could run a water buffalo for President, and their zombies would still vote for it.

Let’s concede that she may not be Michael Robinson - but could well be a hermaphrodite. :)

If she ran I think there are enough brain dead lunatics to vote and cheat for her to give her the win. Who would have thought Obama would have won the first time in 2008, and with all we knew and the horrible economy and Benghazi he STILL got re-elected in 2012. Very unlikely, but Michelle I mean Michael, is probably more likable than Barrack Hussein.
