NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 20: Former U.S. President Barack Obama answers questions at the Gates Foundation Inaugural Goalkeepers event on September 20, 2017 in New York City.
Former President Barack Obama would beat President Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup, according to a hypothetical poll released Wednesday.
The poll found that if a presidential election was held today and the only candidates were the two immediate past presidents, 54% would vote for Obama and 43% would vote for Trump. Only 3% said they were undecided.
The left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) was commissioned by Eric Schmeltzer, a progressive public relations consultant, to conduct the survey.
The poll surveyed slightly more Democrats (41%) than Republicans (36%). The other 23% self-identified as Independent.
