Former first lady Michelle Obama is only candidate to beat former President Trump in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, a new post-debate poll found.
Former first lady Michelle Obama is the leading candidate to take on former President Trump in 2024, according to a new poll conducted after last week's presidential debate. A Reuters/Ipsos poll asked respondents who they would like to see take on Trump on the general election ballot amid calls to replace the current nominee, and President Biden was bested by both the former first lady and his own vice president.
The poll showing Obama leading the Democratic candidate pool comes after the Washington Post reported that her husband, former President Obama, recently told supporters that Biden’s road to re-election has become more difficult since Thursday. Vice President Kamala Harris has also risen on the list of potential Democratic nominee replacements, but she did not receive enough support to beat Trump in the latest survey.
According to the poll, about 42% of respondents said they would vote for Harris, while a slim majority of 43% of registered voters favored Trump. Despite being the party's nominee, several post-debate polls have shown Biden dropping from the list of prospective candidates to represent the Democratic Party in 2024 amid concerns over his age and mental acuity. Biden tied with Trump in the survey, with both candidates receiving 40% of the vote.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted from July 1 to 2 with a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points. Fox News Digital's Scott McDonald contributed to this report.
