Just-Released Poll Shows Dems’ Preferred Choice for President and It’s Not Hillary
The Hill reported Friday that, according to a recent poll, most Democrats would choose a third term for President Obama over presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
According to a WPA research survey, 67 percent of the Democrats surveyed would abandon the current presidential election if there was a way for Obama to serve a third term.
The poll shows only 28 percent are ready for a changing of the guard, while 6 percent remain undecided.
A memo from WPA read, “The results should give pause to the Hillary Clinton campaign as Democratic respondents clearly prefer the status quo to a Clinton presidency.”
With the Obama administration winding down, the president’s approval rating seems to be increasing.
Earlier this week the Washington Post released the findings of a Washington Post/ABC News poll which reveals 56 percent of those polled approve of Obama’s performance. The poll also shows that 56 percent feel the time has come to take the nation in a different direction.
Obama’s net approval, as indicated by the poll figures, is nearly 80, compared to former President Clinton’s approval of almost 60.
While President Obama is enjoying an increase in his approval rating, Hillary Clinton’s rating has decreased.
A Gallup poll from April shows Clinton’s favorability rating to be 36 points. That is down drastically from the 63 points she received in November.
The Clinton campaign is striving to garner additional support from voters who had supported Sen. Bernie Sanders.
On a positive note for Clinton, the survey suggests that Sanders’ supporters are rallying behind her rather than Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. (For more from the author of “Just-Released Poll Shows Dems’ Preferred Choice for President” please click HERE)
