Barack Obama defeats Trump by double-digit margin in new hypothetical poll.
Former President Barack Obama would defeat President Donald Trump by a double-digit margin if both were eligible to run for a third term, according to a new hypothetical poll.

The polling could offer a view of Americans' attitudes toward Obama and Trump, both of whom remain hugely influential in their parties and national politics despite both being barred constitutionally from future presidential bids.

Obama received 52 percent support in a head-to-head against Trump, who garnered 41 percent, according to a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll of 1,013 registered voters conducted July 9 to July 10. The lead fell well outside of the plus or minus 3.1 percentage point margin of error.
