Poll: New Hampshire Democrats would prefer an extinction-causing meteor over Trump reelection

A majority of New Hampshire Democrats said in a new poll that they would rather a “giant meteor strikes the Earth, extinguishing all human life” than see President Trump reelected.

The University of Massachusetts Lowell survey of 400 Democratic voters asked which candidates they would support in the state’s primary Tuesday, with former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) tying for first place at 23 percent support.

Sixty-two percent of Democrats picked the meteor, while 38 percent chose a second term for Trump.

The viral Twitter account Sweet Meteor of Death, which fantasizes about the end of the world through a deadly meteor strike, praised the poll on Friday, writing “SMOD2020” or Sweet Meteor of Death 2020.

While the poll represents a small sampling of New Hampshire voters, it illustrates the degree of the party divide and contrasting feelings about Trump among Democrats.

The survey had an adjusted margin of error of 6.4 percent.
