WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) - One in three Democrats think U.S. President Joe Biden should end his reelection bid following last week's debate against Republican Donald Trump, but no prominent elected Democrat does any better than Biden in a hypothetical matchup against Trump, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Tuesday.

The two-day poll found that both Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, maintain the support of 40% of registered voters, suggesting that Biden has not lost ground since the debate. Election Day is Nov. 5.

Among the names of top Democrats put before respondents, only Michelle Obama, wife of former Democratic President Barack Obama, outperformed Biden and led Trump 50% to 39% in a hypothetical matchup. Michelle Obama, author of the best-selling 2018 memoir "Becoming," has said repeatedly she does not intend to run for president.

Biden has vowed to stay in the race. But should he exit, the Democrats whose names emerge as possible replacements perform only as well or worse than Biden against Trump in hypothetical matchups, according to the poll. Vice President Kamala Harris, for example, trailed Trump by one percentage point, 42% to 43%, a difference that was well within the poll's 3.5 percentage point margin of error, making Harris' showing statistically just as strong as Biden's.

Apparently some dem internal polling leaked and it looks hilariously bad for Sleepy Joe. Although this scenario is not likely, it’s within the margin of error of their data:

If you’ll vote for her, she’ll win: UK Edition

Can’t believe no one has yet commented on Gruesome Gavin’s ex-wife being Don Jr’s fiancé. The potential for the turbo-neoliberal to get dragged down into talking about his hog on a debate stage is real

On the plus side, Trump would likely redeploy his BOOT EDGE EDGE bit in a debate

Lmao Labour are really going to pied piper strategy Farage into Downing Street, aren’t they? It won’t happen this election, but as Sir Kid Starver does his thing, Reform are going to be so well positioned to capitalize on public anger

Visiting family right now…my academic brother is despairing that Tory MPs are placing bets on how many seats they’ll lose as “Britain needs effective opposition” once Labour win otherwise “the extreme left or right will get power”. He also cited the lack of “effective opposition” as what led to “Britain being destroyed” by the Tories.

For someone that is a scientist and entirely defines his identity by his career, it’s kind of funny how little he understands long term trends or that having an effective right wing party is a bad thing.

My man is so checked out, it’s obvious he just wants to go back to running a hedge fund in Malibu so badly

Lmao the Israeli foreign minister is called “Israel Katz”

Zero Wing ass name, embarrassing “nation”
