Poll reveals voters streaming toward Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as independent chucks a grenade into the presidential mix - amid shock at another candidates dramatic surge

Third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues drawing more attention in the 2024 election, according to a new NBC poll, as voters dread another matchup between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy receives enough support among the electorate to play a spoiler in the 2024 election. Thirteen percent chose Kennedy, significantly higher than other third party candidates like Jill Stein who got three percent support and Cornel West who got two percent.

But the poll of registered voters suggests that Kennedy's new-found popularity hurts Trump more than Biden.

I think Kennedy could very well be a factor in this election assuming he is able to get more exposure.

He is 28/1 in the betting and has been around that for a long time.

The invisible surge.

Ignorant never Trumper establishment republicans are going to help throw our country away and install Communism.

Destroying our Grandkid’s futures must be the new hill to die on.

Kennedy is great as he hurts Biden.

This survey is screwed up.

The Dems have to get him offstage....

Washington
CNN. July 28, 2023.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination against President Joe Biden, baselessly suggested Friday that the Biden administration is singling him out for rare treatment by denying him Secret Service protection.

Kennedy tweeted that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had decided that Secret Service protection for him is “not warranted at this time.” Kennedy said this denial came after nearly three months with no response to his campaign’s request for Secret Service protection and despite his campaign having submitted a 67-page report “from the world’s leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.”

Deep State is running Junior because it needs a handy candidate to stash swapped Trump votes.

That sounds about right.

What doesn’t sound right is that lots of actual Trump supporters are deciding to switch to Kennedy. No way that’s happening.

You might be surprised at the voters Kennedy might attract from not only both parties, but independents as well. Right now he is talking about important issues that neither Trump or Biden will address.

The tell-tale sign of who is hurt and who is helped by an RFK Jr candidacy is whether the MSM gives him favorable coverage. Should RFK Jr help Biden, the MSM will cast RFK Jr as a formidable candidate.

From 2006...

Update: Is ‘vote flipping’ an e-voting problem or user error? Do e-voting machines mistakenly give votes to the wrong candidates?

We were warned. Pity we didn't listen.

We are no longer a republic.

We need to restore our republic.

There is no other issue.

Trump is the only guy talking about that.

Anyone who would vote for RFK Jr. on the basis of his position on vaccinations alone is not a possible inhabitant of “both sides”.

They are Leftists who are too ignorant and stupid to understand they are Leftists.
