Like this poll, but with some of the candidates I left out.

This is a poll about potential democratic nominee's electability.

Imagine it's the Democratic Nation Convention in August, and Joe Biden has offered to release his delegates and allow them to vote for whoever they want to as the democratic nominee. The candidates above are being considered.

Out of these options, who do you think would have the best chance of winning the presidential election?

Just because Taylor Swift is the most popular doesn't mean she'd be the most electable. Even if we imagine that Taylor Swift wanted to be president, does she have any idea how to do the job? Probably not. And voters would know that. I think most people are fed up with celebrities trying to use their star power to get elected.

@PlasmaBallin This also applies to a lesser extent to Michelle Obama. She doesn't have any direct political experience holding an elected office. But she at least knows a lot about what it's like to be president since she was married to one for eight years.
