    New Delhi:

    Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the US, is the leading choice to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic party’s candidate for the presidential elections, as indicated by the Rasmussen Reports polls.

    Nearly half of the democrats – who voted in the poll – expressed their choice for someone other than Biden to fight the US Presidential elections.

    About 48% of the Democratic voters polled said they approve of the party “finding another candidate to replace Joe Biden before the election in November,” compared to 38% who disapprove.

    Only 33 per cent of Democrats believe there will be a ballot shakeup.

    Michelle Obama got about 20 per cent of votes among other options to replace Biden. Other options were Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

    Kamala Harris received about 15 per cent of the votes, while 12 per cent favoured a rematch between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

    Michelle Obama has repeatedly being called to consider running for the presidential election.

    Obama last month expressed deep fear about the upcoming elections, saying it “haunts” her. “The fact that people think that government-‘eh,, does it really even do anything?’ – and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, does government do everything for us, and we cannot take this democracy for granted.’ And I worry sometimes that we do. Those are the things that keep me up,” she had said.
