In a recent social media poll conducted by billionaire Mark Cuban, the question posed was which public figure, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, would make a better role model for children. The results were unexpectedly in favour of Trump.
Despite Cuban’s ongoing criticism of Trump’s persona and politics, the overwhelming preference for Trump over Harris has sparked considerable debate and controversy online.
Mark Cuban, with his 8.8 million followers, created a poll to gauge public opinion on leadership role models for children. The informal survey offered two choices: Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the leading figures for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Surprisingly, 68.9% of over 800,000 participants chose Trump as their preferred role model, with only 31.1% selecting Harris.
The discussion around the poll also revived old and controversial claims about Kamala Harris. Several users repeated baseless accusations about her rise in California politics, which fuelled their preference for Trump.
Cuban’s changing viewpoint underscores the complexity and evolving nature of political opinions, particularly among high-profile individuals.
For Kamala Harris, the results indicate a challenge in reshaping her public image and gaining traction among voters who may have reservations about her character.

Despite the baseless nature of these accusations, they continue to influence public perception and provide fuel for her detractors.
As the 2024 Presidential Election approaches, the importance of public perception and the role of social media platforms in political engagement will likely continue to be critical factors in the campaigns of both Trump and Harris.
The surprising preference for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris as revealed by Mark Cuban’s poll sheds light on the complexities of public opinion.
