Billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban polled his X followers on Friday and got an unexpected result.

"Who’s persona and character would you like to see young children grow up to have?" Cuban asked in a poll with two options: former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the New York Post reported.

Trump won in a landslide. Over two-thirds, 68.9%, preferred Trump to Harris, with 804,173 users participating.

Cuban supported Trump when he first ran for president and was even talked about as a potential vice president for him. But he has since become a vocal critic and has endorsed Harris for president in this year's election.

Prominent political commentators and influencers weighed in on X. Former Republican candidate for Missouri Secretary of State Valentina Gomez criticized Harris's professional history in the replies to Cuban's post.
