You will notice the Joe Biden percentage of voters (38%) doesn’t change when Robert Kennedy Jr. is added to the equation as a third-party independent candidate. However, the Trump support drops from 40% to 38%, essentially wiping out the lead that President Trump would hold in a general election over Joe Biden.
Given the intellectually honest assessment that RFK Jr., as an independent run, could never win the general election, it may annoy some people to accept his decision to run as an independent only carries one motive – to reduce the Trump vote. However, as much as you may not want to accept that reality, the data is clear – and it makes sense.
Many right-leaning or politically homeless Trump voters have spent a great deal of time celebrating the positions of RFK Jr. and projecting a positive opinion toward him. After thinking positively about him for so long, having to accept that RFK Jr. may not be as decent, honorable and/or altruistic in his intentions can be a painful admission. I get it; but the reality of the situation doesn’t change.
At CTH we accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be. Cognitive dissonance is not appreciated here, and the reality is that RFK Jr. has a large following of supporters within the MAGA-hood. He has been talked-up for almost a year.

If RFK Jr running as 3rd party causes Trump to lose, then this country truly is lost.
As with Tulsi Gabbard, Kristen Sinema, Joe Manchin, etc. I’m alwats shocked and saddened that so many people who think they are conservatives suddenly embrace life-long leftists, just because they occasionally say one or two things that conservatives can agree with.
I think that is BS. Don’t believe the BS.
That decreases his chances of getting ,you know..
I just don’t see a demonstrable difference between the prez who gave us DACA amnesty, supports Disney groomers, bumpstock ban, blank checks to big pharma and lockdowns.
To ensure the permanency of tyranny.. he gave them mail in ballots.
Can’t tell if a man can become a woman, rejects his 2016 abortion stance.
So I will go with the guy who won’t sign blank checks to big pharma.
BS
“I think that is BS. Don’t believe the BS.”
Same here. There is NO WAY anybody (liberal or conservative) is going to take away from Trump what the other Republicans could not already take from him.
Not buying this poll
Agree. RFK is Ross Perot
RFK, Jr is a gun grabber. He may try to minimize that to get votes. But if in office he will sign any gun control bill. He can go the H***.
Trump 8/5 (lowest odds ever)
Biden 5/2
RFK JR 20/1
Trump odds nothing but lower.
Biden odds higher.
RFK JR is going to steal fr Trump say pollsters
RFK JR is going to steal fr Biden or it will be a tie say bettors.
Then thats how they’ll do the ‘24 cheat; take votes from Trump and give them to RFK.
I’m anti-vax, but I’m also anti-lib demorat RFK Jr.
I don’t recognize the source.
Is it conservative or liberal?
The lying polls are already happening used to justify election fraud. Rinse and repeat.
The lies you tell…. You should eat a bar of Palmolive.
internal polling
what is he going to say?
that he is stealing biden votes?
get real
Everything you just quoted is a lie.
Mail in ballots, for example: Trump was warning about those long before the election.
You must have a few rattlesnake genes in your make-up.
it is BS, if RFK Jr hurt T$, he would have secret service protection and the MSM fawning all over him
