Only One Democrat Can Replace Joe Biden, And It’s The GOP’s Worst Nightmare

Two years ago, I kept predicting that the Democrats would somehow persuade Ms. Obama to come forward and run, simply because the party had no viable candidate. As it turned out, I was wrong: they did, and she didn’t. But now? Last week’s elections showed that the majority of voters will follow their feelings instead of logic and reason, and no matter how deeply the Democrats have driven the country into the ditch by 2024, the people just loooove Michelle, and they’ll happily accept the shovels handed them by their masters and voluntarily, eagerly, dig deeper.

Although his party took less of a beating in the midterms than Republicans had hoped, his presidential approval ratings are too low for him to argue his policies are popular nationwide. Polling from FiveThirtyEight shows only a 41% approval rating, with over 53% disapproving of his job as president.

That is where Obama has her opening to become the first black female to be elected President of the United States under the Democratic party ticket.

She is currently number three among the top public figures, with only her husband and Martin Luther King Jr. ranking higher than the former First Lady, according to YouGov polling. The company measured Michelle Obama’s “popularity and fame” against other prominent figures in the third quarter of 2022.

Of the 1,554 respondents, 56% gave her a positive approval rating, 30% said they disliked Obama, and 11% felt neutral about her. Her approval rating is almost equal among females (59%), and males (53%), the polling found.

Additionally, she shows more robust support among young voters, a significant Democratic voting bloc, according to the poll. Over 60% of Millenials give her a positive approval rating, 54% of Gen X and 52% of Baby Boomers agree.

The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University found young voter turnout for the 2022 midterms was a crucial part of the Democrats’ election victories. Estimates from CIRCLE found that 27% of young voters ages 18-29 cast a ballot in the 2022 midterms, down only 4% from the historic 2018 election, which saw 31% of young voters turning out to vote.
