The primary question that Rasmussen asked of likely U.S. voters reads as follows:
“If the candidates for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination were Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Marianne Williamson, which candidate would you vote for?”
Respondents were split between Kennedy and Biden, with Kennedy receiving 35 percent and Biden, who is already polling at historic lows as of May 2023, receiving just 36 percent. Williamson, meanwhile, captured just six percent of the vote in the poll, which included voters from all political parties.

I have no idea why JFK wouldn’t like the CIA, it was created during the Truman Presidency. Maybe the Bay of Pigs debacle played a roll and caused him to lose confidence.(They certainly lost confidence in him when no air support showed up during the invasion)
I don’t find this line of thinking very believable.
Kennedy escalated our presence in Vietnam by adding at least 16,000 more military advisors to the campaign.
I think because JFK was assassinated, revisionist types are “churching up” the real Kennedy.
Kennedys are not very good at driving boats, planes, cars, or skis.
So Republicans were polled as to which Dem primary candidate they’d vote for?
Kinda seems like stuffing the ballot box there.
Trump should say he prefers RFK jr as his VP
I’m afraid so. They will find another muslim to do their dirty work.
Sirhan Sirhan is a Christian.
One big issue the two factions of 1960’s Democrats the Johnson faction versus the Kennedy one.
Johnson ramped up Vietnam way beyond anything Kennedy did or imagined IMHO.
Johnson ramped up the welfare state beyond Kennedy’s vision.
Johnson was into war and the welfare state and he trashed the Kennedy’s every chance he got leaking the dirt to the media.
Good material the Republicans could pick up on but dirt just the same.
The Kennedy’s suspicious about JFK’s death from the get go and so we get all the discussion of a notion of conspiracy in the assassination.
No joke.
Oh my.
Reasons why the CIA wanted JFK dead:
—JFK tried to stop James Jesus Angleton etal from giving nuclear secrets to the Israelis
—JFK fired Allen Dulles after the Bay of Pigs and threatened to break the CIA into a million pieces.
—JFK put in a new director of the CIA (John McCone) who was a JFK lackey and was hated by the “old guard”.
—JFK had an affair with the wife of a key CIA official (Cord Meyer, see below)
—JFK defunded the CIA’s support of Cuban rebels.
—JFK (well technically RFK) deported a Mafia ally of the CIA by kidnapping him and dumping him into the Guatemala jungle. The Mafia guy was New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Marcello returned to New Orleans and vowed revenge—caught on FBI wiretap tape telling colleagues “get that stone out of my shoe” referring to the Kennedys.
E. Howard Hunt had a deathbed confession where he indicated he ran logistics for the assassination:

Hunt named CIA names—David Atlee Phillips, Cord Meyer Jr., William Harvey, Frank Sturgis.
Johnson ramped up Vietnam way beyond anything Kennedy did or imagined IMHO.
********
Its undeniable what Johnson did.
It was before my time(born 1971) but my father said JFK escalated a “little bit” but “that POS Johnson went off the deep end.”(His exact words, he hated LBJ)
Between Vietnam and the Great Society Lyndon really “Johnsoned” this country up with spending set us on course to the present debt load we carry.
Mush for brains is toast.
Well I need to give Bob a little more money, keep this game going.
Kennedy was actually disenchanted with CIA well before the Bay of Pigs and especially wanted to be rid of Allan Dulles.
I believe RFK is the best Democrat candidate for president in my lifetime. And almost certainly better than some of the Republican nominees in my lifetime (particularly, John McCain and Mitt Romney).
That’s what my mom keeps saying that someone is gonna off him
*“The CIA will take care of RFK jr.”* I don’t think so. Too much of a pattern.
*Ha...they should have a debate.* No that’s one thing the WH can control. Don’t bother with a challenge.
*I think a ‘tragic plane crash” would do the trick.*
JFK Jr. was America’s crown prince. He was going to come out of the closet as a republican and run for the senate. Hillary was in the way.
“the poll, which included voters from all political parties.”
Can anyone explain how a poll that includes large percentages of “voters” who can’t vote in the Dem primaries tells us anything about who is likely to win the Dem nomination? The nauseating probability is that the RFK, Jr support almost surely comes from Republicans, excluded from particiation in the Dem primaries. If that surmise is accurate, Biden has it by a mile.
