© APDemocratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at her presidential primary election night rally, Tuesday, April 26, 2016, in Philadelphia.
Fewer than one-in-four Americans bought into President Obama's claim that 'there has never ever been any man or woman more qualified for this office than Hillary Clinton,' a new poll shows.

Rasmussen Reports polled likely voters and found that just 22 percent agree with the president, who made the boast at a campaign rally alongside Clinton last week in Charlotte, North Carolina.

What's more, is that voters now rate Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump equally when it comes to preparedness for the presidency.

With about a quarter of voters saying they agreed with Obama's statement about Clinton topping the charts on presidential experience, another 65 percent disagreed with his comment outright, the poll showed.

Another 13 percent of voters were undecided on this initial question. Breaking it down by party, just 5 percent of Republicans agreed with Obama's statement. When pollsters asked the question to voters, Obama wasn't identified as making the remark.

Another 15 percent of voters not affiliated with either political party agreed. Democrats agreed more with the president, but not the majority.

Just 42 percent of voters in Clinton's and Obama's party said they agreed that the former secretary of state was the 'most qualified' White House hopeful ever.

Another third, 36 percent, say that's not true, while 21 percent weren't sure.

When asked to pick between the presumptive Republican nominee and the likely Democratic nominee 41 percent of voters said they believed that Clinton is better qualified to be president.

She served as the country's first lady when her husband President Bill Clinton was in office, and then went on to have her own political career as a U.S. senator from New York and then President Obama's secretary of state.

Trump has spent his entire career in the real estate and entertainment business, but 40 percent of likely voters said he was better qualified to be president of the United States.

A 'sizable' 19 percent of respondents were undecided, the pollsters reported. The poll also indicates a large shift in voters' thinking about Trump.

In April just 27 percent said the billionaire businessman was qualified to be president, while 50 percent said it was Clinton.

Both candidates see a lot of support within their own party's on the question of who's more qualified with 74 percent of Republicans pointing to Trump and 77 percent of Democrats signaling that it's Clinton.

In what could spell trouble for Clinton - 41 percent of unaffiliated voters said they thought Trump was more qualified to take hold of the Oval Office, while 31 percent said the same of Clinton.

Twenty-eight percent of unaffiliated voters were undecided.

When it comes to race, black voters were divided over President Obama's statement on Clinton while 70 percent whites and 64 percent of other minority voters disagreed.

Men and women were split in this survey too. Women saw Clinton as more qualified, while men saw Trump as the one to do a better job. And the older the voter was, the more likely they were to say Trump was the more qualified candidate.
