NOPE-RAH: Voters Aren't As Crazy For 'Oprah 2020' As Leftists Had Hoped

A series of polls, taken after Oprah Winfrey gave her rousing Golden Globes speech, show an unexpected trend among likely American voters: they aren't that crazy about an Oprah 2020 Presidential campaign.

According to Politico, several push polls taken show support for a prospective President Oprah Winfrey isn't widespread, and that she is as unpopular among Democrats — who would most likely be among her primary voters — as she is among Republicans.

And although initial polls showed her running ahead of Trump in a mid-year matchup, the further out from her Golden Globes speech voters get, the further that number drops. The top-line result from a Morning Consult/Politico poll from last week shows Winfrey within the margin of error with Trump, beating him by only 2 points. Just under a quarter of voters would "remain undecided."

Among potential Democratic primary voters, Winfrey trails both former Vice President Joe Biden, and "Democratic Socialist" Bernie Sanders. She's far behind Biden — 54% to 31% — and closer to Sanders (she trails him by only 9 points).

She does, however, narrowly edge out Sen. Elizbeth Warren, and Oprah beats Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand by a mile, 44% to 23%.

Oprah's major problem, it turns out, is that unlike Trump, she's not seen a prime candidate to transition from television to the Oval Office. Even though people really like her as a lifestyle guru and a features reporter, they can't see her doing well as a chief executive.

"Oprah's strong standing among Democrats does not translate to a clear interest in her launching a presidential campaign," Morning Consult's chief pollster told Politico. "While 77% of Democrats have a favorable opinion of Oprah, only 38% say she should run in 2020."

UH-OH: Did The Democrats' Hopes Of 'President Oprah' Just Go Up In Smoke?

Well, that didn't take long. Just a measly two weeks after Oprah Winfrey announced that she was running for president — at least that's how her much-ballyhooed Golden Globes speech was interpreted by basically everyone — she rained on everyone's "President Oprah" parade.

"It's not something that interests me," Winfrey said of running for president in 2020. Her comment came during an interview with InStyle magazine published Thursday. Asked how she feels "when people say, 'Oprah 2020'?" Winfrey laughed.

"I've always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not," said Winfrey. "And so it’s not something that interests me. I don’t have the DNA for it. Gayle—who knows me as well as I know myself practically—has been calling me regularly and texting me things, like a woman in the airport saying, 'When’s Oprah going to run?' So Gayle sends me these things, and then she'll go, 'I know, I know, I know! It wouldn’t be good for you—it would be good for everyone else.' I met with someone the other day who said that they would help me with a campaign. That's not for me."

So is that it? Is Oprah really not interested in running? Maybe, maybe not. But it certainly won't be the last time we hear about "President Oprah," a phrase that many on the Left would love to utter daily starting in January 2021. And it won't stop the speculation in the media. Just yesterday, CNN released its latest big poll showing that Oprah would trounce Trump by 9 points in 2020 (though Sanders and Biden would supposedly beat him by double digits).

As for what really ratcheted up the hype, here's the speech that triggered the Oprah 2020 hysteria (full transcript below):

In 1964, I was a little girl sitting on the linoleum floor of my mother's house in Milwaukee watching Anne Bancroft present the Oscar for best actor at the 36th Academy Awards. She opened the envelope and said five words that literally made history: "The winner is Sidney Poitier." Up to the stage came the most elegant man I had ever seen. I remember his tie was white, and of course his skin was black, and I had never seen a black man being celebrated like that. I tried many, many times to explain what a moment like that means to a little girl, a kid watching from the cheap seats as my mom came through the door bone tired from cleaning other people's houses. But all I can do is quote and say that the explanation in Sidney's performance in "Lilies of the Field":
"Amen, amen, amen, amen."

In 1982, Sidney received the Cecil B. DeMille award right here at the Golden Globes and it is not lost on me that at this moment, there are some little girls watching as I become the first black woman to be given this same award. It is an honor — it is an honor and it is a privilege to share the evening with all of them and also with the incredible men and women who have inspired me, who challenged me, who sustained me and made my journey to this stage possible. Dennis Swanson who took a chance on me for "A.M. Chicago." Quincy Jones who saw me on that show and said to Steven Spielberg, "Yes, she is Sophia in 'The Color Purple.'" Gayle who has been the definition of what a friend is, and Stedman who has been my rock — just a few to name.

I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association because we all know the press is under siege these days. We also know it's the insatiable dedication to uncovering the absolute truth that keeps us from turning a blind eye to corruption and to injustice. To tyrants and victims, and secrets and lies. I want to say that I value the press more than ever before as we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this: what I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I'm especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories. Each of us in this room are celebrated because of the stories that we tell, and this year we became the story.

But it's not just a story affecting the entertainment industry. It's one that transcends any culture, geography, race, religion, politics, or workplace. So I want tonight to express gratitude to all the women who have endured years of abuse and assault because they, like my mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue. They're the women whose names we'll never know. They are domestic workers and farm workers. They are working in factories and they work in restaurants and they're in academia, engineering, medicine, and science. They're part of the world of tech and politics and business. They're our athletes in the Olympics and they're our soldiers in the military.

And there's someone else, Recy Taylor, a name I know and I think you should know, too. In 1944, Recy Taylor was a young wife and mother walking home from a church service she'd attended in Abbeville, Alabama, when she was abducted by six armed white men, raped, and left blindfolded by the side of the road coming home from church. They threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone, but her story was reported to the NAACP where a young worker by the name of Rosa Parks became the lead investigator on her case and together they sought justice. But justice wasn't an option in the era of Jim Crow. The men who tried to destroy her were never persecuted. Recy Taylor died ten days ago, just shy of her 98th birthday. She lived as we all have lived, too many years in a culture broken by brutally powerful men. For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up.

Their time is up. And I just hope that Recy Taylor died knowing that her truth, like the truth of so many other women who were tormented in those years, and even now tormented, goes marching on. It was somewhere in Rosa Parks' heart almost 11 years later, when she made the decision to stay seated on that bus in Montgomery, and it's here with every woman who chooses to say, "Me too." And every man — every man who chooses to listen.

In my career, what I've always tried my best to do, whether on television or through film, is to say something about how men and women really behave. To say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage, how we fail, how we retreat, persevere and how we overcome. I've interviewed and portrayed people who've withstood some of the ugliest things life can throw at you, but the one quality all of them seem to share is an ability to maintain hope for a brighter morning, even during our darkest nights. So I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say "Me too" again.
