TOPLINE 2024 Democratic presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—an environmental lawyer with anti-vaccine views and a strong family dynasty at his back—has higher favorability numbers than either President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll by The Economist and YouGov, even as Biden maintains a lead in the 2024 primary.
KEY FACTS Kennedy Jr. was viewed favorably by 49% of respondents and unfavorably by just 30%, leaving him with a net rating of 19 points—higher than any other candidate in the poll, which surveyed 1,500 adult respondents from June 10 to 13.
Biden had a negative 9-point net favorability rating, with 52% of respondents viewing him somewhat or very unfavorably while 45% have very or somewhat favorable impressions, and Trump had a negative 10-point net rating, with 53% viewing him unfavorably and 43% favorably.

"A collection of tech moguls have gotten behind Kennedy Jr. in recent weeks, including former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Social Capital founder Chamath Palihapitiya and venture capitalist David Sacks. Billionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk hosted him for a Twitter Spaces discussion earlier this month, though he hasn’t endorsed a 2024 candidate and says he’s interested in hosting talks with all interested contenders."
I previously posted the all Biden needs, since he is skating on very thin political ice, is one cannonball to land on that ice. Looks like the cannonball is named RFK Junior. The farthest Joe is going to get is through the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, where he is probably going to get greased by RFK Junior. When that happens, it will set off a free-for-all with Gavin Newsom being the likely leader and winner.
Never vote for any Democrat, to be able to be in that party alone is enough to demonstrate being unfit for any elected office from dog catcher on up.

Bears repeating:

You know who owns Forbes now? China. Forbes hates Trump.
I wouldn’t believe these guys.
Yup...I’ve been saying...if he runs...he takes it...easily...
RFK Jr would make a terrible president, if for no other reason than he has bought into all the climate change nonsense. He’d pour billions more into that fraud machine. No way would he get my vote.
However, he’s far and away the most reasonable of the Democrats. Everyone else on his side of the fence is some kind of Stalin-lite.
Oh, so polls are fake again? Thought they were real the way Donald Trump himself keeps obsessing over them on TRUTH Social.
Or are they only real if Trump is leading in them?

Exactly right!
Forbes and Ryan had Tucker fired/removed.
Oh I see, so we don’t have a major problem with lying in the media?
Get a clue.

Sanders and Buttigieg were surging during the 2020 Democrat primaries. The bosses didn’t want either of them. So Biden was dusted off to shut those twoout.
No way do the bosses want RFK Jr. So the question is not if he will be stopped, but how he will be stopped.
They are wasting their money. RFK Jr. isn't too likely because he isn't controllable, which is the most important qualification for any DNC candidate. (DNC screwed Bernie out of it twice.)
My own guess would be Newsom, because he looks like a Hollywood director's visualization of a politician, even though he's as bad a manager as any Democrat politician. (That is, if we don't all die in Biden's nuclear WW III first.)
Maybe the GOP should nominate Senator Kennedy of Louisiana. Then perhaps we would have John Kennedy vs. Robert Kennedy in the general election.
Yep, climate whackos are extremely dangerous fanatics. We are talking millions and millions of people dead because of climate idiocy.
Must be some of that there Artificial Insemination (AI) polling.
A TV show's visualization: Matlock, Perry Mason, Monk.
Don’t bet on it...and I’m certain the party wants Kamala outa there, too.
Can’t wait to see what happens when the Democrat ruling class opens fire on a beloved Kennedy. I’m pretty sure that’s still a no-no in about 50 million Democrat households.
RFKJ came out as a supposed, full, alien believer.
Coupled with his fervent support of Deep State Malone and he looks suspiciously like a controlled oppo plant to me.
Which is too bad. He does say a lot that I like (which he would, as a controlled oppo plant).
Of course he does.
Listen to his messages. About as populist as they get.
I understand and agree that he was one of the earliest, if not the earliest, skeptics of all things surrounding Fauci. And he’s 100% right. And all the Monday Morning QBs on here are free to say whatever they want about Pres Trump.
Quick sidebar, damn near all of them conveniently forget that it was Pres Trump that put none other than, Vice President Mike Pence, in charge of the covid task force and that is was Pence who dropped Fauci, Birx, Collins and the rest on all of us.
Yes...Pres Trump went along with it for a while. He soon became a skeptic and publicly asked why folks weren’t being allowed the choice to take alternative therapeutics. He brought in doctors that were actually treating folks with these alternative therapeutics, successfully. And the media attacked like a pack of wolves to protect the Covid Task Force and Big Pharma.
Anywho, Kennedy is singing a very populist song. He doesn’t have the baggage of either men. He gets some legit sympathy for what they did to his father and uncle. But, there’s no evidence of him taking $10,000,000 in bribes and having a crackhead for a son. However, his family is about as dysfunctional as one can get but folks seem to ignore that.
He hasn’t been impeached twice. He hasn’t had his tax records illegally poured over. He hasn’t been accused of rape, sexual assault or said that someone in lying and not his type and still being convicted of something no one has any recollection of happening, even the “victim”.
So, for now he gets a pass. I feel bad for him. If his popularity continues to grow, something bad is going to happen to him.
