Who would you rather have as your president: Donald Trump or a burrito from Chipotle?
On March 2, after Trump wiped out the Republican Super Tuesday primaries, I conducted a Statistical significance 5 percent confidence interval [/note] A national poll of 402 registered voters from across the United States asked that very question.
Voters were almost split 50/50.
Half the public would rather live in a country run by an inanimate tortilla filled with beans, pastries and possibly salmonella than Donald Trump.
This includes 28 percent of Republicans polled, 52 percent of independents, and 63 percent of voters between the ages of 18 and 29.
Fortunately for Trump, The US Constitution declares who must be at least 35 years old to run for president. Chipotle has only been around since 1993, so aside from being really moldy, its oldest possible burrito will be too young to resist Donald.
Trump's candidacy is too polarized, with many in his own party panicking at the prospect of him being their standard-bearer. But the poll — which we might call the Burrito Poll — illustrates how far voters, Republicans, Independents and Democrats will go to meet him. it's not become president.
The Burrito poll also asked voters for hypothetical matches between Trump and other political figures not running for 2016, such as Joe Biden, Mitt Romney, and Barack Obama. third term. Trump lost all three.
Notably, Biden beats Trump by a wider margin than Hillary Clinton (see below). And though fellow Republican Mitt Romney wouldn't really go up against Trump in a general election, polls suggest he would be the strongest contender in a hypothetical run.
It turns out that more than a quarter of Republicans are willing to cross the aisle to vote for Democratic candidates if Trump is the GOP candidate, with 26 percent declaring they would switch to Hillary, 31 percent for Biden and 24 percent for Obama.
Trump is not a politician, which is part of his appeal to his voter base. So how will America vote if Trump goes against other non-politicians? The Burrito poll also pitted Trump against reality TV stars, celebrities, inanimate objects and other businessmen.
House, except for Mike Rowe, whose show, Dirty job quite odd:
I'm also open to comparisons with more mainstream celebrities. Americans don't seem to trust Kanye, but they would gladly bring in Bill Pullmna, who plays the president in the film. Independence Day, back to the White House before Trump, And after watching this speech how can they not? [/note] as well as Ellen Degeneres, Denzel Washington, and even Mel Gibson. George Clooney beat Trump worse than every other candidate so far, except Romney.
While a burrito essentially bound Trump, 22 - five-year-old Justin Bieber was slammed, and IBM's Watson Robot - who beat Ken Jennings in Jeopardy - easy win.
Hypothetical partners Larry Page and Sergei Brin, the billionaire founder of Google, have the same political experience as Trump but beat him by landslide, especially among young voters:
Frustrated American Apparel CEO Dov Charney also narrowly defeated Trump. And if the election is only until 18- to 29-years-old, America will elect Pablo Escobar as president instead of Donald Trump - even though Escobar has been dead for 22 years.
The Burrito poll also criticized Trump, a man whose name is synonymous with consumerism and branding, against several popular consumer brands. How would the US vote if they could elect McDonald's as POTUS instead of Trump?
Good news for Captain Crunch: America wants YOU. That's right: By a low margin, Americans will elect this president instead of Donald Trump.
Unfortunately for the other two brands, young people are the only ones who really like Walmart or Mickey D's over Trump. Eighteen- to 29-year-olds favor the world's largest department store chain with a 4% profit margin.
Turns out there are a lot more people (and companies) Americans would like to see in the White House than Donald Trump, but despite the rise brand influence in our lifetime, we will probably move away from an outdated collective system. Most of us still want to have a person rather than a brand as commander-in-chief.
Though if Donald wins, we'll essentially have both.
