New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the US, is the leading choice to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic party’s candidate for the presidential elections, a poll has shown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nearly half of the democrats – who voted in the Rasmussen Reports polls\u00a0– expressed their choice for someone other than Biden to fight the US Presidential elections.<\/p>\n
About 48% of the Democrats polled said they approve of the party “finding another candidate to replace Joe Biden before the election in November,” compared to 38% who disapprove.<\/p>\n
Only 33 per cent of Democrats believe there will be a ballot shakeup.<\/p>\n
Michelle Obama got about 20 per cent of votes among other options to replace 81-year-old Joe Biden. The other contenders were Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.<\/p>\n
Kamala Harris received about 15 per cent of the votes, while 12 per cent favoured a rematch between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Michelle Obama has repeatedly being called to consider running for the presidential election.<\/p>\n
Obama last month expressed deep fear about the upcoming elections, saying it “haunts” her. “The fact that people think that government-‘eh,, does it really even do anything?’ – and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, does government do everything for us, and we cannot take this democracy for granted.’ And I worry sometimes that we do. Those are the things that keep me up,” she had said.<\/p>\n
The lineup in the 2024 US election has long been a foregone conclusion, with a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump appearing all but certain.<\/p>\n
Biden asserts that he is the best qualified candidate, despite polls that indicate that his age is off-putting to voters.<\/p>\n
Trump, meanwhile, insists he will run despite possible criminal conviction before the election which theoretically could see him face decades in prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
