In the latest poll<\/a> by UMass Lowell\u2019s Center for Public Opinion, 440 New Hampshire Democratic Primary likely voters were asked a simple question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which of the\nfollowing outcomes would you prefer occur on November 3, 2020?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Donald Trump wins re-election<\/li>
  2. A giant meteor strikes the earth, extinguishing\nall human life<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    64% chose death by meteor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    The poll is real<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It sounds like something a satirical news site like The\nOnion would come up with, but it\u2019s legit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The findings were picked up by prominent news media organizations like the Rolling Stone, Time, Newsweek and more. It\u2019s also blowing up on Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
