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.

Then ask yourself what kind of ballot harvesting operative would think it far more plausible (lower risk of detection and prosecution) to manufacture large numbers of excess ballots for Michelle than for Joe or Kamala or Gavin?
And the answer will become clear - plausible deniability is always the goal, and Michelle is the only senior Democrat who is not openly detested by a significant segment of the electorate.
But fraud is a lot easier to get away with when people already hate the one to be defrauded - and we were deep into a "Trump is EVIL!" mind virus in 2020. Some will never recover from that, but many other have seen through the deception and are angry about what the government-media complex did to them.
So I don't think she will agree to try it.
I mean, he did so well with the school lunch program.
The left is a cult of celebrity. Big Mike isn’t remotely qualified, but liberals know who (they think) he is. That tranny’s face was on the cover of every woman’s magazine during the entirety of Trump’s presidency. Melania, not once. It was disgusting and insulting. I do not support , nor will I comply with anything in the orbit of Obama.
LOL!
Just doing what he said he would. He succeeded in fundamentally transforming our country.
“Hypothetical Matchup.”
So not reality.
The upside is that Trump would be able to talk about what a disaster Obama was for our country for months, and the Obamas may be taking that into consideration.
This is part of the PR game. She has zero experience and no resume. Kamala at least has a political resume and would start an internal RAT fight that would schism the Black vote.
“MSN claims everything is beating Trump.”
***********
They are desperate to push any narrative to stop Trump’s momentum.
As far as Mooshelle is concerned, its hard to imagine her giving up her privileged life of leisure and luxury for the daily demands of the presidency. She’s just not into work and sacrifice. But her adoring media fans will never say that about her.
And of course Mike will become the nominee about 12 seconds before they start printing the ballots . .
Pls see my related #49.
You believing that idiotic poll says more about you, not the American electorate.
Cope.
Pull your head out of your ass.
Yeah, sure. Celebrity candidates frequently “crush” the opposition in polls until you actually run and have to make speeches and take positions.
A Newsweek poll has all the reliability of a magic 8-ball
“She would be an incompetent leftist racist grifter.”
Those qualities are requirements and resume enhancers for Democrats. She’d be the perfect puppet replacement.... only too content to let the commies behind the curtain make all the ‘tough decisions’.
Agree. Rich Barris, pretty decent pollester, thinks the side of evil doesn’t have a bench never mind anybody who could realistically beat Trump and the longer they wait the stronger Trump gets.
I tend to agree with him.
Didn’t they poll “adults,” not registered voters or likely voters?
A lot of Michelle’s presumed appeal will be symbolic, not due to anything she has actually done.
It will be the equivalent of nominating Atty
Gen Letitia Jones for standard bearer and president.
People like Kathy Griffin or Jane Fonda would go crazy, clapping until their diamond rings fell off.
Everyone here seems to forget the friggin halo that the media and the leftist morons put around mikes head. They adored her. Her media persona was of perfection. None of the bad stuff she said even registered anywhere except for conservative media. Hell, i even knew so called conservative women who loved her. Yeah yeah, then they must not be conservative. Whatever, as of right now, they are voting for trump. If she runs she’s gonna peel away a sizable slice of “conservative” women who will vote for her because she is a women and because she’s friends with oprah. Women put biden over the top in 2020 and i can see the same thing happening with big mike. If you can’t acknowledge that then you are just a tad slow.
Propaganda getting sloppier now and lies bigger.
The poll found 50 percent of registered voters would vote for Obama.
