After the televised duel with Biden, Democrats are looking for alternatives. Poll shows: Michelle Obama could compete with Trump.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Incumbent U.S. President Joe Biden is the loser in the first televised duel. That has worried his party colleagues. Some Democrats are now looking for a quick alternative to the 2024 U.S. election because Biden is so unpopular among the population. A July 1-2 poll found that only former first lady Michelle Obama could definitely beat former President Donald Trump.
In one Reuters/ Ipsos-Opinion poll With about 1,000 respondents, 50 percent of voters surveyed said they would vote for Obama if the election were held that day. Trump only got 39 percent of the pairing. With a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points, this is a clear winner for Obama, especially in contrast to Biden. In a Biden-Trump matchup, both candidates received 40 percent of eligible voters surveyed. Even compared to the other potential candidates surveyed, Obama was the only one who did significantly better.
Trump attacks Obama, other candidates will perform worse in 2024 US election
In response to the poll, the potential Republican nominee also took aim at Obama, who has long been considered a potential replacement for Biden. Trump said loudly: Newsweek At a campaign event: “They interviewed everyone. I interviewed Michelle Obama, and her poll numbers were terrible. No, their poll numbers are terrible.” Obama fared much better than Trump (42%) and Biden (38%), not only in the hypothetical election result, but also in the popularity question, at 55%.
Current Vice President Kamala Harris trailed Trump by one percentage point in a hypothetical election (42% to 43%). California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the governor were further behind Trump, as was the governor of Illinois, known as J.B. Pritzker. In addition to Obama, Biden has performed better than other potential alternative candidates. “It’s hard to believe, but corrupt Joe Biden has better poll numbers than these people,” Trump said at a campaign event. The other Democrats on the list, however, remain largely unknown nationally. That would change quickly if he ran for president.
Just 'Barack Nostalgia’: 2024 US Election Likely to Remain a Trump-Biden Duel
“Polls showing that Michelle Obama could beat Donald Trump simply reflect nostalgia for Barack,” said Thomas Gift, director of the Centre for American Politics at University College London. Newsweek“It’s easy to beat the competition when you don’t have a political platform and aren’t being scrutinized like the 2024 presidential candidates.”
Gift described the idea that Michelle Obama could run for the Democratic nomination against Trump in the 2024 US election as fanciful. Obama has repeatedly said she does not want to run. Obama spokeswoman Crystal Carson confirmed that „Mrs. Obama supports the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.” NBC-News of the former first lady’s position.
After TV Duel Against Trump: Many Want Biden Out – Biden Remains Standing

The 81-year-old won’t be formally nominated as the nominee until August.

In the poll, 32 percent of Democratic voters also said that Biden should withdraw from the US election campaign after the televised duel. Of all those surveyed, 52 percent voted for Biden to go. 46 percent said that Trump should step down. This has been demonstrated several times in the past few months: in the US election in 2024, two candidates will face each other in a way that no one wants. However, it is unlikely that a better alternative will be found in the near future. (word)

Seat distribution projections based on the latest opinion polls for the 2024 UK general election
We should also bear in mind that in Great Britain, MPs are elected using majority voting – unlike in Germany, where personal proportional representation is used. For the Conservative Party, the predictions for the distribution of seats in the House of Commons based on the latest opinion polls are much worse than pure percentage values.

Sunak could also make history: according to the latest polls, he could become the first sitting prime minister in history to be voted out of office in his own constituency. The UK’s Reform Party, which is expected to win only a handful of seats in the House of Commons, is struggling with voting rights.
