As the 2024 National Democratic Primary approaches and the Democrats seem like they are glancing around for someone other than the senile and corruption accusation-addled President Joe Biden, polling just came out that shows “The Squad” is far from the mass popularity movement its members want it to be, sending one Squad member into a public tizzy.
That would be Ilhan Omar, one of the most prominent members of “The Squad.” When polling came out showing that if she ran even President Slow Joe Biden would blow her out of the water, she lost it on Twitter and lashed out about the “waste of time.”
The poll, which was conducted by NoblePredictive, was conducted to show the likely results of a slew of potential matchups for the 2024 Democratic primary. Unfortunately for RFK Jr. but fortunately for those worried about someone outflanking Joe to the even farther left, the poll showed that President Biden is leading his potential Democrat rivals comfortably in each scenario presented.
One of the blowouts in the poll was a matchup between President Slow Joe Biden and Rep. Ilhan Omar. It showed that Biden would absolutely trounce her, leading with 63 percent of the Democrat primary vote compared to Omar’s 10 percent.
While RFK Jr. had the biggest percentage of the vote compared to the other Biden challengers presented, De Blasio and Williamson did even worse than Ilhan Omar, with Biden leading by 58 points with Williamson and 59 percent with de Blasio, compared to “just” 53 percent with Rep. Ilhan Omar. The remainder in each scenario were “undecided” between the two options presented.
Rep. Ilhan Omar was very upset by the poll and had a public meltdown on Twitter, snapping, “You all know I am not eligible to run for President, why do this and wasting people’s time???” She is, in fact, ineligible, as she was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. Regardless of legal feasibility, she was obviously chosen not because she’s a legitimate candidate but to show the popularity of The Squad against Biden, a more mainstream Democrat.

In an article on the poll released by the firm, it noted that Biden has advantages over some of the other candidates often brought up as potential replacements or challengers as well, saying, “The incumbent would have narrower but still decisive victories if he had to face Vice President Kamala Harris (26%), California Gov. Gavin Newsom (25%), U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (30%) or former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (34%).“
Mike Noble, founder and CEO of Noble Predictive Insights, commenting on the data showing Michelle could be the challenger who beats Biden, said, “Biden is pretty safe in the Democratic primary. However, he’d better make sure Michelle Obama is on his Christmas card list.”
