Poll Imagines Trump–Obama Showdown

A recent Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll asked voters how a hypothetical presidential matchup between Donald Trump and Barack Obama might play out.

• Trump’s Remarks: Trump expressed amusement, saying, “I’d love that. That would be a good one,” and hinted that some people ask him to run again, though he acknowledged legal limits.

• Poll Results: Among 1,013 registered voters, Obama led with 52% versus 41% for Trump. He also had strong support from Hispanic (73%) and Black (68%) voters.

• Takeaway: While a Trump–Obama race is legally impossible without a constitutional change, the poll highlights the enduring influence of both figures—Obama’s broad appeal and Trump’s continued prominence in political discourse.
