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.

Just asked around the room. No one here will be voting for big Mike.
Well it is a pretty partisan room.
Do. Not. Believe.
I disagree, Lady Obama cannot win.
That reporter who wrote that piece should $hit in one hand and make a wish in the other to see which one fills the fastest.
Red,
Good to see that there are some, LIKE YOU, who still have BOTH a working BRAIN and COMMON SENSE!
Voting based upon emotions and ridiculous superficial characteristics (“he’s cute”, or “he’s so mean”) instead of policy positions has sunk us.
Hopefully we won’t have to find out. Kamala would be much weaker than Obama, but because of the political polarization, it still would be close.
So why did it go up after Trump left and the lockdowns got worse?
Well, unless Kamala is the chosen, the war chest is lost. Thats 750 million dollars.
Demand went up, our production initially was cut and the Saudi’s cut back output. So again, do you want to go back to the conditions that caused it?
Newsweak and MSM rolled up like a dooby for this one.
There’s a lot of Democrat cheerleaders and stooges on this site right now, and not confined to the Ukraine threads.
You Communists always have an excuse for your failure. Trump would have it below $1.50 if he were still President.
If we were communists, it would be less. You think the Russians a Chinese pay as much as we do?
Whew!
I thought it was REAL!
Will it survive another 8 years of abortion?
Likely.
