U.S. women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe was clear that she doesn't have time to run for president, despite her fans' wishes.

Under this thinking, whether it's a soon-to-be 35-year-old soccer star with no public office experience, a 77-year-old independent who's been in Congress since 1991, or Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), there likely won't be much of a swing in a run-off against Trump.
Public Policy Polling surveyed 604 registered voters between July 3-8. No margin of error was reported.
