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.

“...assuming he is able to get more exposure.”

I suspect that another Sirhan Sirhan has already been lined up, to possibly repeat the fate that befell RFK Jr.’s father.

The cartel behind Joe Biden is even more remorseless and relentless than the cabal that put LBJ into the presidency.

“No conspiracy”, in a pig’s sore red aching - donkey.

The Natural Law Party just gave Kennedy ballot status in Michigan.

I didn't know the Natural Law Party was still around.

I expect Kennedy will be on most state ballots by November.

The Republic will never be restored it was lost a long time ago and that light went out on November of 1932

Wait, I thought it was November 4, 2008. Or November 2, 2020. Or November 22, 1963. Can't we make up our minds on when the Republic ended? LOL.

This is not stupidity on their part. They are conspiring to help the commie defeat MAGA.

More cowardice than stupidity or conspiracy.

I do this all the time when the pollsters call me I’m generally a 50-year-old Hispanic black woman, no education, five kids, making less than $50,000. The pollsters generally only call people who have landlines.
Love it when they ask questions about Joe Biden and if you’re going to vote for him, and I always make it clear that he’s sort of crapped on the black community.

Some say our republic ended in 1860, or 1898, or 1913.

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

Yup, he's a left wing environmental wacko. His running mate, Nicole Shanahan supports left-leaning organizations and Democratic political candidates including in the past Hillary Clinton.

Yes. It is true. Anyone who would vote for someone like RFK Jr, given what he stands for on the record, may be a one-issue-voter, but at best they can be described as the despicable and abhorrent “independent voters” rolled out by the media every two years.

Yeah. Those people, who up to a week before an election, cannot decide if they will vote for someone like Biden or someone like Trump.

They may be stupid, ignorant, one-issue-voters who are more like a typical Leftist to whom single issues like abortion are important, but they aren’t conservative.

They simply are not.

What they absolutely are, were described by Benjamin Franklin, are the contemptible people who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety.

They deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

I’m not implying that I agree with them, I don’t, but they exist in growing numbers.

I can see RFKJ pulling votes from Trump. It wouldn’t be knowledgable conservative types who would vote for RFKJ. It wouldn’t be hardcore Trump fans. It would be people who don’t pay much attention to politics except around election time but who want an outsider. RFKJ gets into Trump’s lane with those people.

I think RFK Jr will get more votes from Biden because he’s the incumbent this time so he’s defending his record, not Trump.

Gaslighting bull Shiite. Every survey shows Kennedy taking voters from Crime Boss Joey.
Remember we will see lots of fake polls as the communists try and build a plausible argument for the reseal but it won’t work.
The RNC has team that actually wants to win.

Read the fine print:

Notes: The poll was conducted April 12-16 and surveyed 1,000 registered voters nationally. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Source: NBC News national poll

Registered, not likely. National poll, not battleground states.

Trump or Biden must win the Electoral College, not California and New York. It’s going to take voters from around the country, but we pretty much know what states will absolutely go to Trump and what states will go to Biden. The fight won’t be in those states.

So this poll is rubbish.

I wouldn’t put it past Biden & Co. to have RFK Jr. assassinated if they feared he would cost them the election (why has Biden refused to give him Secret Service protection?). But they have also signaled their intention to have Trump killed in prison. Probably two assassinations in one election cycle would be too much...and not needed.

100% pure, unadulterated bullshit ...

Yes, this survey is flawed. If you ask Republicans who they view favorably, you will get a completely different result than if you them who they are actually planning to vote for.

I view RFK favorably because he seems honest - and that is very admirable. But he is still a flaming liberal on many issues. Plus there is no way I’d vote for anyone but Trump.

Surveys can easily get the results they want simply by framing the questions a certain way,
