A majority of Democrats would rather see President Obama serve a third term than have Hillary Clinton in the White House, a new poll shows.

The poll, conducted by WPA Research and provided to The Hill, showed 67 percent of Democrats would like to see Obama serve a third term instead of Democratic presidential candidate Clinton having one term. Twenty-eight percent said they would not prefer a third-term for Obama and 6 percent weren't sure.

The idea of scrapping the election - which will pit Clinton against Republican Donald Trump - was particularly popular among African Americans, with 78 percent of those responding saying they were in favor of the idea. Among women, a strong constituency for Clinton, 38 percent said they would cancel the election.

The poll, conducted June 22-23 and June 26-27, includes responses from 800 likely voters, including 384 from registered Democrats.

No matter what public opinion might be, there won't be any third term for Obama. The 22nd Amendment, enacted after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected for his fourth term, limits presidents to two terms.
