Despite now clinching the nomination, a vast majority of 2020 Biden voters still say they would rather vote for Michelle Obama.
Even while the former First Lady has adamantly said she will under no circumstances usurp Joe Biden and run for the White House, 75% of people who voted for Biden in 2020 said they would prefer to vote for Michelle if only she would run. According to the quite recent Newsweek poll, Michelle Obama not only gets 75% support among those who voted for Biden in 2020, but she also gets 21% of those who voted for former President Donald Trump in the past presidential election, according to the Redfield and Wilton Strategies poll conducted for Newsweek.
Also, 45% of those polled support Biden ending his presidential campaign. Biden clinched the Democrat presidential nomination Tuesday night without a serious primary challenge.
“As former first lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,” Michelle Obama’s office Communications Director Crystal Carson told NBC News recently.
“Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ reelection campaign.”
But Americans are not supportive of Biden, whose 37.4% approval rating is at a record low, according to the poll.
Redfield and Wilton Strategies polled 1,500 U.S. adults, and the margin of error is +/- 2.53 percentage points.
