A new poll has found that the majority of New Hampshire Democrats would sooner see a meteor destroy all of humanity than Trump be re-elected into office for a second term.
As Daily News reported, the survey was conducted by UMass-Lowell and saw 400 likely Democratic primary voters asked, "Which of the following outcomes would you prefer to occur on November 3, 2020? - Donald Trump wins re-election or a giant meteor strikes the earth, extinguishing all human life?"
In fact, this alternative was mostly favored among women, with 68% of female respondents casting their vote for total annihilation.
Male Democrats were shown to be less eager to pick human extinction, although 53% said they'd embrace the end of humanity if it meant keeping Trump wouldn't be re-elected.
Of those individuals, 47% were male, and 72% identified themselves as having "conservative ideologies".
Only 31% of moderates said they favored Trump's re-election.
As he told Newsweek, it was intended to measure "partisan anger" and polarization among U.S. voters.
Of course, he acknowledged that the question is definitely "tongue-in-cheek", but it certainly helps illuminate "how angry Democrats are."
23% of respondents said they would vote for the Vermont senator if the primaries were being held that day, while Joe Biden followed close behind with 22% of the vote. Elizabeth Warren trailed both presidential hopefuls with 19%.
