Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to pull more support from former President Trump than President Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to a new poll.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday showed Biden narrowly ahead of Trump by 1 point, 47 percent to 46 percent, within the margin of error, in a head-to-head matchup. But with Kennedy in a three-way race, Biden is ahead with 39 percent to Trump’s 36 percent and Kennedy’s 22 percent.
Pollsters found independents are almost evenly split among the three candidates, with 36 percent supporting Kennedy, 31 percent backing Trump and 30 percent with Biden.

This was always the plan for RFK. The Democrats are leaving nothing to chance. From indictments to ballot access challenges to running a spoiler to their usual operations. We’ve NEVER seen a more intense effort to stop a Republican candidate for president.
If they plan on voting for Kennedy, THEY ARE NOT REPUBLICANS. They just told the dumbass pollster that they were.

How can anyone who considers themselves a Trump supporter even think of voting for Kennedy?”
Former Trump supporters who are rabid anti-vaxxers will be tempted to support Kennedy.
Quinnipiac is left leaning generally, but I would expect this outcome to be true. RFK is going for the “fed up” vote, which has been part of Trump territory.
I don’t believe the premise and even if I did, I wouldn’t agree with trying to keep him off the ballot.
And Trump has not focused on him yet
This is more than likely true and it is the plan. If you haven’t picked it up yet i’ll lay it down.
1. “Right Wing” media focus’ their viewers and readers on the “right wing positions” held by “anti establishment” RFK jr. This is done during the “Democrat Primary” as to not raise suspicion as well as leave the right leaning voters open to the idea that he’s anti establishment.
2. Prolong the Republican primary to prevent Trump from Unifying the party before “#1” takes hold.
3. Democrats hold firm to Biden, preventing a primary and not allowing any states to be contested (as to not embarrass their incumbent).
4. RJK jr. declares his independent candidacy (You’ll notice it’s independent and not on the “Green” party ticket where he would have ballot access instantly and he is more ideologically aligned.
5. Ballot Access will be easy coming for the Democratic operative in swing states and contested states; Not so much in left leaning states. He will thus only be campaigning in states that Trump needs and not the ones where Trump has no chance. You are unlikely to see RJK Jr. Hold rallies in NJ, OR, CO or NM. He will be very popular in AZ, WI, PA
6. (Less confident about this play) Biden will not be the nominee and the Rats will quickly unify the party because once Biden is not the nominee the Rats will not lose anything to Jr. I think they are going to use the Biden Impeachment as a way to get this done (which means the Repukes will play into their hands).
This is a play and both parties and right wing media are in on it along with the Rats. They will keep Trump from the white house no matter the cost. Hopefully the people are smart enough but the poll suggest they are already falling for the play.
Kennedy getting 22% puts the entire poll into doubt.
RFKs daughter-in-law and new campaign manager is a bizarre, ditzy, former CIA spook with a background story full of holes. She’s a hologram - reminds me of Obama and his “biography.”
That alone should cause anyone, left or right, concerned about America’s future to run away from RFK Jr.
Stop putting this guy on conservative outlets!
I think RFK is just getting the people who dislike trump and Biden since a lot of people don’t really know much about him. He’s basically just “generic politician”
Once actual campaigning starts people will learn more about RFK and his numbers will probably go down.
Plus if RFK was hurting Trump he’d be on every new station 24 hours a day
As long as Biden can read a promoter and take direction in the earpiece he will be running. He didn’t campaign in 20 and he won’t in 24. They will use limited campaign speeches, AI, scripted controlled interviews etc. The MSM will “carry the body” over the finish line…again.
Anyone who gets swayed away from Trump to Kennedy is being affected by the increased methane concentration where there head is at.
One of the greatest marketing jobs in history was convincing the public that the Kennedys were “good” people. Their history is replete with one instance after another of disgusting behavior. It must be genetic.
It means nothing, but they get website hits and that is the sole purpose of endless inaccurate polls.
Then he would start beating Biden. I think as soon as he is allowed in debates his numbers will go up. Many, even most, probably don’t even know he is running.
What this poll is saying is: There are people who claim to be REPUBLICANS who would vote for Kennedy.
These are never-Trump Republicans who aren’t voting for Trump under any circumstances.
I doubt there are many (if any) people who would vote for Trump that would switch to Kennedy.
In other words, this is a psyop by the left, because they know there are large numbers of Biden voters that would switch to Kennedy.
The hill lies but don’t worry the lamestream media will lie with the hill.
AHHHH, “unskew” the polls season came early this year!
