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
Daily Mail ^ | April 21, 2024 | Charlie Spiering

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.

“We are no longer a republic.

We need to restore our republic.

There is no other issue.”

At least to throw a wrench in the works for four years.

If we don’t restore our republic, the rest won’t matter.

Vote for Trump.

We can hash out the rest after our republic is restored.

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

Some Trump supporters might be telling pollsters they'll be voting for Kennedy, because they don't want to be doxed as "haters."

Trump supporters are more likely to hide their preference in public than are Biden supporters.

Well, even if Trump wins, Deep State will still control the SCOTUS, Congress, and the bureaucracy.

But with Trump at the helm of our ship of state, we can still right the wrecked, smoking hulk that Deep State will have left us.

We need Trump.

Thank you for posting. Kennedy is a drug addicted environwhacko who is trying to harm Trump by getting single-issue antivax people to vote for him.

Trump needs to attack him regularly instead of playing nice. I even saw Kennedy claim Trump people offered him the vice presidency. Hopefully that is a lie.

Have some fun, lie to pollsters.

But if you’re loyal to our former republic and are able-bodied, do NOT vote early or by mail.

Doing so gives aid and comfort to our common enemy.

odd polling and completely useless, Kenedy is only on the ballot in 2 states and in those states according to polling he pulls more from Biden.

So 40% of GOP voters prefer RFK, a radical extremist, over DJT?

“Nobody leaning Trump is going g to vote for RFK jr. Lots of Biden people will though.”

That’s just not true. I hear lots of podcasters like Joe Rogan who constantly praise Trump also praising Kennedy. Lots of foolish meatheads who’d rather go to the gym than church are into RFK.

And obviously Kennedy is better if you are antivax. The Deep State is using Kennedy as a spoiler.

Not true. Familiarize yourself with how antivax ... and I mean all vaccines..the 45 and under age group is. The ones in my life are conservative Christians. Just as there are one-issue voters when it comes to abortion on both sides of the isle, vaccines are emerging as a deciding factor as well.

To restore the balance of the Republic then we must get rid of the 17th Amendment.
Trump isn’t talking about anything really except that he is running as the Martyr Candidate.

I haven’t heard him talk about the out of control Budget and Spending, Medical Costs, Interest Rate Expense, Bloated Defense Budget, Etc.. He has no plans to deal with any of that at this time.

Trump himself added $6 to $8 Trillion to the national debt and by the time Biden is through will have a $40 Trillion Debt. He wants a $7 Trillion Budget and no way to pay for it. No way he can raise taxes enough to cover this. Medicate Taxes would have to be raised 6X and then what, people would have no money for any of the basics of living.

Trump needs to be hitting all these things hard, but I don’t think he will. The biggest thing to deal with is the Health Care Costs in the budget, $2.5 Trillion and Trump could have done something in his first term if he had let loose the DOJ Anti-Trust on the Medical Insurance companies and the Health Care Cartels and drive cost down to 5% of GDP and yet here we are with costs at 20% of GDP and nothing being done.

The Republic will never be restored it was lost a long time ago and that light went out on November of 1932. So absent a total collapse of the Central Government and/or a Revolution what do we do?

LOL! Total B.S. and everyone knows it. This only hurts Biden. Period.Anti-Vaxers don’t matter as they are a small vocal minority like the Trans community, and at the end of the day know body cares who they vote for. Trump 2024

This is a story somebody at NBC worked very hard at, especially with the graphics. BUT it’s retold by DailyMail UK? First I’ve seen of it. And, NOT paraded and lauded about by US MSM that I’ve seen.

I’ve seen it said here that it’s the DMUK that prints US stories MSM here won’t. So, is it one that Dems and the Admin here really think helps them?

Personally, I just don’t see him as a factor, even with the fancy graphics.

RFK needs to go scorched earth on Trump. Call him names, refer to him as an election denying criminal Nazi, etc.

Exactly as may be expected. Anyone on a conservative forum claiming otherwise speaks more by their demonstrated inclination to support Kennedy than by their dismissive words.

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.

Ignorance has NOTHING to do with it. This is the Uniparty that the RINOs were desperate to hide from the public before 2020. But just like the Democrats, they brazenly no longer care what the voters see.

Just look at what the RINOs are doing in AZ. They are purposefully refusing to abolish an archaic abortion law that is only going to help the commie running against Kari Lake. This is not stupidity on their part. They are conspiring to help the commie defeat MAGA.

Kennedy is a left winger even if he is an independent.

That poll is assuming Kennedy gets on the ballots of all the states. I doubt that happens.

An added bonus is if Kennedy does get on the ballot in a majority of states, all the dirty laundry about the wife who hung herself will be revived on steroids.

Just let RFJ Jr actually get on the ballot. Then the knives will come out for him. When all the seedy stuff about him starts popping up everywhere he’s going to bomb.
