Michelle Obama Is Only Democrat Beating Trump in New Post-Debate Poll – And It’s by A LOT
Michelle Obama Is Only Democrat Beating Trump in New Post-Debate Poll – And It’s by A LOT
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is the only Democrat running ahead of former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup, according to a new poll.
She has zero interest in the gig and, other than being first lady, has absolutely zero qualifications... but then... neither did Trump.
Whatever happened to the "Draft Oprah" movement?
Fuck Oprah. She's an out of touch Billionaire who's commitment to junk science set Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil loose on the world and gave Jenny McArthy a platform for her anti-vax autism bullshit. She's absolutely not who we want running for president.
She’s far more qualified than Trump but according to her husband’s book she didn’t even want to be First Lady. And as much as I don’t hold what I view as Barry’s presidential shortcomings against her, we have had far too many political family dynasty’s in this country. Let’s not have another
family dynasties* in this country
has absolutely zero qualifications
This is completely false.
While I do not believe she ahoukd run, unlike Trump, she is qualified. She has degrees from Princeton and Harvard and is an attorney. And more importantly, she is wicked smart.
Please stop dragging her into this.
She'd never want to be President. I'd argue we wouldn't like her very much if she was the kind of person that did.
She’d never want to be President.
Paraphrasing Douglas Adams, that would make her the best candidate. But in real life, perhaps not so much.
A spouse of a former president running against Trump? That can't possibly go wrong.
That would be one hell of a thing.
Shocking, have to doubt
I'm also wary of any poll that shows such a strong showing for Kamala Harris. Not saying it's wrong, it legitimately looks like it's got a lot of good data, but every other poll I've seen has been fairly unfavorable to the idea of her running against Trump.
Yeah this just looks like a name recognition poll. Kamala's chances of beating trump aren't any better than Biden's.
Well it does seem that more people would vote for trump against her as well as more people vote for her. So maybe it's legit?
In polling there's a piece of wisdom that journalists don't listen to. Ignore the outlier polls. If there's multiple polls saying one thing and one poll saying something else then there's far more likely to be something wrong with the one outlier. But clickbait machine goes brrrrt.

Okay looks like Clickbait Machine goes brrrt for a different reason here. The upshot is that many respondents skipped the follow on questions. So assuming any amount of campaigning is competently done then the 12% Don't know/skip category is likely to shrink closer to the 4% of the Biden-Trump match up. Then you can see that 40% of the respondents just answered Trump no matter what. In fact the Democrats percentage goes down nearly in lockstep with, Don't Know/Skipped. So, in my opinion, there's a really good chance the Democrats could actually pick up most of that column for Beshear or Pritzker.
Are there raw results published anywhere? The most recent IPSOS I can find is from May 2024 and based on this, it seems Biden and Trump are unchanged at 40% each between surveys.EDIT, nevermind the July 2024 raw survey is here
Time to put in Big Mike, coach!
Nothing against Michelle, but I highly doubt she wants to run for POTUS.
