Former first lady Michelle Obama would beat former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, according to a new poll.
The wife of former President Barack Obama is among the names being touted as a possible replacement for President Joe Biden, who is facing pressure to step down as the Democratic Party's nominee for president following a disastrous debate performance last week.
Biden's poor performance sparked panic among Democrats and led many to question whether the 81-year-old is the strongest candidate to take on Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, in November.
Biden has vowed to remain in the race, with Seth Schuster, a Biden campaign spokesperson, telling Newsweek after the debate that Biden was "not dropping out." Obama has repeatedly said she does not intend to run for president.
But a Reuters/Ispos poll found she was the only top Democrat put before respondents who would trounce Trump in a hypothetical matchup.
The poll found 50 percent of registered voters would vote for Obama if the election were held today, while Trump would get 39 percent of the vote.
Obama's office has been contacted for comment via her website and the Trump campaign has been contacted via email.
The poll surveyed 1,070 U.S. adults nationwide, including 892 registered voters, between July 1 and 2, and has a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points.

That would be BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
s FOURTH TERM!!!
What does this say about the american electorate?
I have no doubt that Mike would crush President Trump
What a sht Nation this has become...
If thatās the case , after 8 years of another Obama we will never ever hear that name again.
Trump was to good for his own good š
The media will have a field day with this and will push hard for Obama
Now starts the push to get them another term, the Obamas are done Joe Biden is their legacy.
No way.
MSN claims everything is beating Trump.
I seriously doubt that.
I do not believe this. Total BS.
she only polls that high because she doesn’t want to run. Hillary had similar numbers before choosing to run.
I have no doubt also
American electorate have become dumb. Dumb and dumb and getting dumber
The only way to even the score would be to go after cnn and put them out of commission as they are the enemy of this country
Anyways , the USA is in downfall and China will become the next super power under democrats
I can almost imagine the debate between Trump and Mike. I am not sure there is enough popcorn available.
I doubt she will run. My impression of her is she loves the fame but not the work. She is really good at criticizing without needing to produce a solution.
As they say, the most popular player on a football team is the backup quarterback.
Great Obama 4th and 5th Presidency termsā¦ā¦ we could just call him King Obama and open the curtainā¦..
IIRC it’s a Reuters poll...meaning it’s worthless.
It is a mix of Obama nostalgia (typically, people view the past with rose-colored glasses) and Michelle’s first lady halo working together to create a very seductive vision.
