Breaking it down further:
- 73% of Hispanic voters preferred Obama
- 68% of Black voters sided with Obama
Interestingly, Obama emerged as the only recent Democratic figure to outperform Trump in these hypothetical matchups. When other Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were included, Trump held the lead.
A Race That Never Was
Obama first entered the White House in 2008, winning reelection in 2012. Trump followed with a surprise 2016 victory, a 2020 loss, and a return to power in 2024 — cementing both as the most dominant political figures of the last two decades. Yet despite overlapping political legacies, they have never faced each other directly in an election.
Could It Ever Happen?
Legally, a Trump-Obama rematch in 2028 is nearly impossible. Changing the Constitution would require two-thirds approval from both chambers of Congress and ratification by at least 38 states. Still, with Trump’s repeated hints, the idea continues to spark curiosity — and debate. “I’m not joking… there are methods,” he reminded the public, keeping the fantasy alive.
While Americans can only speculate, the poll highlights how powerful both names remain in shaping public opinion and the imagination of voters.
