Not too meaningful, a few votes, but still good and worth the effort. Trump should make him our WHO representative! That'd irritate a lot of people.

I'd like to see more with the Libertarians. Maybe they drop their pervert candidate and put their support behind Trump.

There are two irreconcilable halves to the Libertarian Party. One side is the pothead/libertine side, the other side are the vonMises Ron Paul types who would be great neighbors. The potheads got the nominee. Individual states may withdraw support.

Not too meaningful, a few votes, but still good and worth the effort.

Here are the current stats:

According to 64 polls from RealClearPolitics going back to 7/25 that ask both the head-to-head and the full-lineup preferences:

31 have Trump losing more votes than Harris
19 have Harris losing more votes than Trump
12 have both losing the same number of votes
2 have neither losing any votes

An analysis of those polls showed the following trends:

Across all 64 polls
- Change in Harris vote: Avg -2.48, std. dev. 1.47
- Change in Trump vote: Avg -2.78, std. dev. 1.54
Overall, Trump is losing more votes to Harris from Kennedy entering the race, with a wider spread.
Across the 31 polls where Trump lost more than Harris
- Change in Trump vote: Avg -3.71, std. dev. 1.42
- Net Loss from Harris: Avg -1.65, std. dev. 0.86
When Trump loses more polls to Harris, Trump loses more than Harris loses to him.
Across the 19 polls where Harris lost more than Trump
- Change in Harris vote: Avg -3.58, std. dev. 1.04
- Net Loss from Trump: Avg -1.68, std. dev. 0.73
When Harris loses more polls to Trump, the net loss to Trump in those specific poll is slightly more than Trump's net loss when he loses to Harris.

Conclusion: Per poll, Trump is losing more votes to Kennedy. Although differences appear slight, Trump loses more to Kennedy 63% more times than Harris loses to Kennedy.

If Kennedy drops out of the race, that would have a big influence on Trump's polling averages.
