Biden primary bid limping as RFK Jr., Marianne Williamson gain footing: CNN poll

President Joe Biden remains the leading contender for the Democratic nomination in 2024, but his primary opponents have carved out significant bases of support, presenting a hurdle for the president should their candidacies linger.

Biden claimed the support of 60% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters in a CNN poll published Thursday. By contrast, challengers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Hollywood guru Marianne Williamson claimed 20% and 8%, respectively.

In additional bad news for Biden, majorities of those groups expressed openness to both of his challengers, with 64% open to RFK Jr. and 53% willing to consider Williamson. The outlet noted that RFK Jr. benefitted considerably from his last name and fond voter recognition of his family's past political figures.

Overall, one-third of Americans, 33%, said Biden winning would be a step forward for the U.S. will two-thirds said it would be a "setback or disaster" for the country. The president further earned a 40% approval rating in a different CNN poll published this week.

Conducted by SSRS from May 17-20, the CNN poll questioned 1,227 adults and has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.7% while the sample of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters has a margin of error of +/- 6.2%.

If one of the bigger rat players declared I think Biden would be done. Kennedy has gone off the reservation bit so he has too many of the idiot base who won’t go for him. Newsom would crush Biden but l’m sure he’s been promised 28.

This will be the MOST rigged Democrat primary in history.

Last time Biden had to stumble around before he got to South Carolina and Clyburn told the very black SC Democrat party who to vote for Biden.

They have cut out the intro and cut straight to SC.

The nominee will be whoever kingmaker Clyburn says to vote for.

RE: I hope this Kennedy is aware of what happened to his dad, uncle, and cuz.
Reply: I’m guessing he has heard about it.

//////////////////////////////////////////
NY Post May 7, 2023 and many others:
Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. blamed the CIA for the assassination of his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy.

Triggered a memory of mine. In a biography of Peter Lawford (known as a messenger and go between from the JFK White House and others, and brother in law of JFK) the writer pressed Lawford for an answer about the assassination. He said he would not utter a word about it to anyone. The writer asked just tell me if it was Oswald’s level or someone higher up who did it. Lawford looked like he was sighing in pain and just brought his index finger pointing upward without a word.

But he’s anti-2nd Amendment and is all-in on the green agenda.

“ wish more Dems were like RFK Jr.”

He seems to be the only one who is somewhat sane.

The times they are a changin’.

Coups are bloodless now.

The overthrowers are defiantly brazen.

When Mike Morrell admitted that he orchestrated the phony letter from the DIRTY FIFTY and implied it went through CIA channels, he was pretty much saying we perpetrated a coup, what you going to do about it.

I wouldn’t vote for the guy but I’d prefer him over any other Democrat.

Marianne will most likely never be much more than a pleasant distraction from the serious “regime change” matter at hand. But then, that’s what I first thought about the Vice President.

I am willing to listen to RFK—I know he has spoken some crazy climate rhetoric, but I am willing to let him explain himself...in this dqy and age I am an independent conservative—not beholden to the Republican party whatsoever...And franky not beholden to the Democrats either...

It’s clear. Biden was “trailing” badly in 2020, in primaries...
Remember the vote count debacle in Iowa?
Ya’ think that was a dry run for how to stuff ballot boxes?
Somehow...he beats ALL of his competitors...ahuh......right.
The honest democratic voters thought they were having a say in their candidates success also...joke is on them too.
The elite dem candidates are even cheating their own constituents. Not to mention the Repubs. and independents. All the dem elites do is promise to give money to an ever helpless base. That and government workers is enuf to get vote totals close and then the rest of the voter count is stuffing ballot boxes.
It’s clear what their strategy is.

The first time a Kennedy challenged a sitting President, it did not end well for him. Hopefully this time around will be different.

People who watch and read the legacy media.

WATCH OUT for Kennedy as Biden’s re-nomination is FAR from assured.

If RFK Jr starts getting traction, watch for the stories of his wife's suicide.

As crazy as it sounds, what I’ve seen of RFK, he actually sounds rational. No way on earth is ever vote for a Dim and especially a Kennedy, but he talks some sense.
