Michelle Obama Tops 2020 Presidential Poll; Critics Target Ex-FLOTUS’ ‘Hollywood,’ ‘Celebrity’ Connections

Michelle Obama has not even announced her presidential candidacy at next year’s election, but she’s already topping the majority of the polls.

A New Hampshire poll revealed that Barack Obama’s wife is ahead of every other frontrunner for the top job. Results showed that if Michelle runs for president, she would be four points ahead of Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren.

The ex-FLOTUS will also be seven points ahead of Bernie Sanders, and she would have the highest chance to win and become named as the president of the United States. But despite the favorable poll results, critics claimed that voters shouldn’t rely on it too much.

On Twitter, some people slammed Michelle for being too Hollywood. They claimed that the former first lady has too many celebrity connections that could help with her campaign.

“Michelle Obama's Twitter page is all her and Hollywood celebrities... Media has a big part in our elections. Her and Ellen singing a song is her top thread. Remember, Ellen and Bush are good friends too! The swamp is deep!!!” the critic tweeted.

At least one critic also slammed Barack for trying to meddle with his wife’s 2020 campaign. But it is important to note that the Obamas have not made any announcement regarding next year’s presidential race.

“He tried very hard to get Bernie Sanders out of the race and he's trying again. He failed to get Hillary Clinton elected and again try to get a centrist, maybe Biden, elected in 2020. That wouldn't work,” the critic commented.

Meanwhile, news of Michelle’s popularity came on the heels of reports that Donald Trump may once again run for president in next year’s election. Moody’s Analytics said that Trump could stay in the White House for a few more years if the US economy holds up.

In the past, Moody’s Analytics has almost always been correct except for the presidential election three years ago. The recent prediction results showed that Trump could win with 332 electoral votes if voter turnout remains relatively close to the historical average.
