The latest Morning Consult poll has President Joe Biden amassing a 73-point lead over self-help author Marianne Williamson among Democrat primary voters.
An astounding 77% of voters said they would support Biden as the presidential nominee, according to the poll, while a mere 4% said they would support Williamson, who announced her bid last weekend.
Men were found to be more likely than women — by 12 percentage points — to support the incumbent. There was not much of a split concerning racial demographics, as 77% of white voters and 79% of Black voters would vote for Biden.
The poll found 52% of Democrat primary voters were unaware of who Williamson is and that her stardom was limited to her work as an author.
According to the poll, 20% of Democrat voters viewed her favorably, while 13% did not, and 15% had no opinion.
After the Democratic National Committee (DNC) changed the primary calendar placing South Carolina in the first-in-the-nation position, Williamson claimed it was "rigging" the primary for Biden.
"It should be the voters who decide," she said. "It should not be the DNC that decides."
South Carolina was a vital victory for Biden in 2020 in achieving the Democratic nomination.
Williamson told ABC’s "This Week" on Sunday, "The DNC should not be rigging this system. They don’t even pretend anymore. They’re not even covert about their swaying the primary season."
Democrats don’t appear to be concerned about Williamson as Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill., said on Sunday no "serious" Democrat would consider primarying Biden. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre even mocked Williamson’s "aura," reported The Daily Mail.
"If I had a, what is it called? A little globe here … a crystal ball that I can tell you. A magic eight ball, whatever. If I could feel her aura," said Jean-Pierre to a room of reporters laughing.
Biden has not made a formal announcement, although he has expressed a willingness to run next year. The first lady has also suggested in interviews that he plans to do so.
