The poll, conducted with Noble Predictive Insights, found that if Democrats and Democrat-leaning likely voters could wave a magic wand, 24% would pick Michelle Obama. The former first lady was followed by Biden (20%), U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (12%), someone else (9%), U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (9%), former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (8%), Vice President Kamala Harris (7%), and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (5%).

[I’m surprised that the numbers aren’t higher for Mrs. Obama. I’m equally surprised that Captain Word Salad got as high as 7% in these results. Amy Klobuchar doesn’t show up at all despite being a contender in 2020, when she outlasted Harris by several weeks. Buttigieg’s 9% is almost as risible as Harris’ 7%. — Ed]
