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.
which is exactly why the DNC will have a “brokered” convention....Yes...you heard it here 1st...
In a similar vein, the back up quarterback is always the most popular player on an winless NFL team.
Hillary, Michelle, Warren and Oprah duke it out behind the scenes. Tag team sports, boom boom girls go boom boom.
They’re pushing the Forever First Lady, but isn’t she tied with the next top three when the margin of error is: +/- 4.8?
Forget what I just read... my eyes skipped a line or two...
Get the pics of mike dancing on Ellen’s show to add to the collection.
I believe that this is confined to 'some' states including NJ. In Louisiana and California, the last two candidates are the top vote winners, regardless of party! This is apparently allowed by that LEFTist-decried doctrine of Federalism.
I believe that the Dems would be wise to avoid this. It will come out and be a well known thing that Michelle is not a woman. Regardless of the fact that our country has fallen half way? down the moral abyss, this won’t be a good thing for them,
RE: It will come out and be a well known thing that Michelle is not a woman.
Excuse me. How does this square with the fact that Obama has two children?
I would wager that the only reason they allowed for the top vote winners regardless of party is because it never occurred to them that Republicans might ever be there. You can be assured that the first time two Republicans make it to the final round, lawsuits will appear by magic on how unfair the law is.
I don’t get it. Kamala is a Woman and she is the right Color.
Why isn’t she the frontrunner already?
Oh that’s right, she started talking.
2008 Obama was an unknown who the Fake News relentlessly protected and McCain was an incredibly weak candidate. Same dynamic does not apply in 2020
Well Michael Obama may not be unknown but that would be a plus to the leftards that look at him/her as a more radical Ophfrah.
To paraphrase certain black politicians back when Barry Soetoro was running in 2008, Kamala is “not authentic”, and thus can never be “down wit duh shtrugga”. She is an anchor child of a mother from India, and a Dad with slave-owner lineage from Jamaica. Color means less if not authentically “down wit duh shtrugga”.
Democrats panicking... they’re looking for someone to beat Trump... ANYONE but the clowns now in the clown car.
Pathetic.
It was known what name would be seen before the name of “MO” was ever read in this trashy article.
Just do it and suffer the consequences. Enough talk, a little more action. Mo is much of a Socialist as any of d’rat candidates in the running. Want to get skinny like Venezuelans?; She would be the one to choose.
Well, better than Carter or Obama anyway.
