Michelle Obama Crushes Donald Trump in Hypothetical Matchup: The Only Democrat Who Can Beat Trump
Newsweek via MSN ^ | 07/03/24 | Khaleda Rahman

Posted on 07/03/2024 6:07:24 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.

So when Trump returns to office I can bank on 1.50 per gallon or less as the norm?

Possible, but you CAN bank on NO MORE “I’m getting oil from the RESERVE to help out you poor drivers.”

“She” would be a great candidate; would force a discussion about exactly how Obama himself obtained office

Since it appears he will be returned to office, I’m banking on 1.50 per gallon or less gas. If it doesn’t fall and maintain at that level, you admitting you were wrong?

It would be below there now if he were still in office.

That can’t be proven. But if returned to office, it can be. You willing to stand behind the claim?

The break even cost for new wells is $38. For new wells it’s $62. For gas to be 1.50 per gallon wholesale, oil needs to be at $50. Lower when taxes are added in. Making it unprofitable for new wells and minimally profitable for existing.
