by Lawrence Bonk | 11:40 am, January 10th, 2018
We knew it was only a matter of time, but an official poll has been conducted, gauging who would win in a presidential contest, between Oprah Winfrey or President Donald Trump.
It looks like Oprah is in the lead. Bigly.
Conservative-leaning polling house Rasmussen talked to likely voters after the talk show hosts game-changing Golden Globes speech. The result? 48 percent of these likely voters would cast their ballot for Oprah, if the election were to be held today, while 38 percent would go for the sitting president. 14 percent, meanwhile, remain undecided.
Those arent exactly good numbers for the president especially considering Oprah seems to be quelling the rumors that she would be running for office.
Even conservative writer, and man of good taste, Matt Drudge is shook!

Some more details; Democrats went for Oprah by a large margin. Seventy-six percent said they would support the talk show host, with 22 percent of Republicans and 44 percent of independents following suit.
On the flip side, Trump garnered support from 66 percent of Republicans, 12 percent of Democrats and 38 percent of independents.

(22,048 posts)Rasmussen is the least reliable polling unit since it skews so hard to the political right.
And still, Trump loses to an unknown political beginner!

(24,122 posts)Don't know much about Oprah's political positions... will have to investigate if she declares. Seems like a wonderful human being, though her close personal relationship with Harvey Weinstein does raise a few questions.
