Former first lady Michelle Obama is the only Democrat to overtake former President Trump in a new poll released Tuesday.
The survey, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, found that Obama was the only Democrat to surpass Trump in a hypothetical matchup, garnering 50 percent support to his 39 percent. Only 4 percent of respondents said they would not vote at all.
Meanwhile, the poll found that in a head-to-head matchup, President Biden and Trump are neck-and-neck. They each received 40 percent of the vote, while 8 percent said they would vote for someone else, and another 8 percent said they would not vote.
Obama was the top choice among Democrats to replace Biden on the 2024 ticket, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released in February. Despite her popularity, the former first lady has repeatedly said she will not be pursuing a bid for the White House.
The poll comes after a rocky debate performance from Biden last week, where he appeared to stumble over his words and lacked energy. The poor showing has prompted some Democrats to call for him to step down from the ballot and make room for someone else take the reins.
Other Democrats floated as potential replacements to Biden in the poll included Vice President Harris, who received 42 percent in a head-to-head matchup with Trump, who received 43 percent. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) trailed Trump by 3 percentage points and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) trailed by 5 points in a hypothetical contest with the presumptive GOP nominee.
While the Reuters/Ipsos poll does not show Biden losing ground behind Trump, other post-debate polls have showed that he is. The survey did find, however, that about one in three Democrats believe Biden should drop out of the race.
The White House and the Biden campaign have tried to quell concerns about the debate performance in recent days and have dismissed the calls for the president to suspend his campaign.
The poll was conducted online July 1-2 among 1,070 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

That's not true. Kamala Harris could realistically push Joe Biden down a flight of stairs and become President by this time tomorrow. No fellatio necessary.

Yeah but only for a couple weeks. Running Joe's decaying corpse and then killing him after the election would still be more likely to put her in the oval office than if she just takes over as the candidate now

There's something bitterly romantic if Biden gets selected. The GOP hates Trump, they didn't want him to be the nominee at all, but they had no choice to win the election. If this happens to the Democrats, and it likely will, Kamala is far worse than Biden and Newsom wants nothing to do with the 2024 election, it'll shape up to be a great finale to the Trump saga.

We've known for years that Michelle could have the nomination if she wanted it, and she's always made very clear that she does not. How close to divorcing Barack while he was president do you think she was?

Yeah the Obamas clearly made the decision to never reenter politics. Even Barack makes his decisions known via 140 character twitter posts. He zoomed into the last convention lmao
