Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Tops Biden And Trump In New Favorability Poll
Forbes ^ | June 17, 2023 | Mary Whitfill Roeloffs

Posted on 06/17/2023 11:33:45 AM PDT by libstripper

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.

Get ready for a Trump - RFK jr ticket. The stars are aligned and it’s meant to be. It’s just about the only way to beat the Democrat margin of fraud and actually win in 2024

Whether anyone agrees with me or not doesn’t matter.
Trump and RFK Jr. are specially and mystically different.

I am a Trump supporter since I got that feeling years and years ago about him.

The impulse that caused Dem voters to mistakenly believe they could stop the turmoil they themselves visited upon Trump as President by returning to the false political image of the harmless mature moderate Joe Biden will be sent to incredible heights if Robert F. Kennedy Jr is on any ballot.

Good or bad as to policy, he will surge in popularity as I said from the beginning. If he lives. May God protect him and Trump.

RFK has the benefit of largely being ignored in the news (plus name recognition). That being said I like him a lot more than most Dems

Gavin Newsom will not get a groundswell of grassroots like RFK Jr. will get. RFK Jr. has enormous appeal to young leftists because he comes across as anti-establishment and he checks a lot of boxes. He also has a lot of appeal to the hippy democrats.

I think people underestimate his potential to shake up the entire race, not just on the democrat party. We saw how the corporate class and DNCe (if you will) upended Bernie so the real question is if RFK Jr. (who fights big interests for a living) will roll over and take it.

I was wrong that Biden would not be the nominee last time but I still keep thinking they will jettison him for someone else but it won’t be RFK Jr. I just don’t think he can make it and considering half the country (my guess) has heard nothing about his corruption his numbers suck already.

Have to agree. Newsome is the obvious rat stand in for the powers that be, if and only if they decide to sh*tcan Biden—which decision has yet to be made.

I don’t think there’s a chance in hell but wouldn’t it be fun if they ran, as a “Unity” ticket?

I like RFK. But that doesn’t mean I’d vote for him.
He a big shot better than what we have now.

Rat grassroots are unimportant. Do you think there was a grass roots groundswell for Biden? Of course not. DNC couldn’t care less about grassroots, they know how easily manipulated the rat base is. In 2024 Gen Z the zombie generation will mindlessly vote for whomever they’re told to support.

I think that there is a very real chance. There is a major realignment in American politics in progress. The Democrats have went insane and hard left . In doing so they have left the middle class blue collar and professional Democrats in the lurch, but they still vote Democrat out of habit. A Trump- RFKjr ticket could enable the natural alliance of the left behind normals under a unified ticket. And Trump and RFK jr have both suffered at the hands of the administrative state. This is RFK jr last,best shot at getting justice for his dad and uncle.

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.”

Biden is guaranteed to win the first democrat primary now that the democrats have substituted South Carolina for Iowa.

The next FDR, if elected, and yet even more ruinous and bizarre. He’s spoken of channeling the dead just like Hillary Clinton. But since he’s been (and probably still is) a pothead, leftists, and their libertarian shadows, will shriek before him like teenage girls did for the Beatles.

Dr Fauci always stayed in his lane.

Does Birx admitting that she and Fauci were lying every day and making sh*t up, qualify as ‘staying in his lane’?

Friend, to say he is more reasonable is setting the bar really, really low.

No. Because you fools pick and chose which polls to believe. Thought you’d learn your lesson from the disaster the polls were in 2020 and 2022. I guess not.

There was not really anyone for them to gravitate too in the democrat field last time. Name one “exciting” candidate they had in the primary.

Picking and choosing is what the media do. The governors were running the show and shutting everything down.
