RFK Jr. appears to draw more of these key voters away from Donald Trump than Joe Biden

Days after Donald Trump trashed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on social media, a poll released by Florida Atlantic University and Mainstreet Research suggests the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee has some reason to worry about the third party candidate.

The national poll showed President Joe Biden leading Trump by a single-point in a statistical dead heat, 47% to 46%, among likely voters. But when RFK Jr. was added as an option, Biden's lead grew to 5 points, 44% to 39%. The survey of 1,046 adults has a 3-point margin of error.

Is there anybody stupid enough to believe this?
Other than journalists and RINOs.

And Free Republic Democrat Party operatives...

I bet it’s a conspiracy by the Dems. They picked the one famous Dem who was blue dog enough to pull votes from Trump then had him run as an independent.

repubs are on average more intelligent than Dems but that’s an average. The lower Dem welfare mommas and ghetto rap artists are balanced out by the top 2% of Dems who run mental circles around our leaders like Mitch the Turtle or Ronna McDaniel fem RINO recently in charge.

That’s the way I see it. In our current reality, hiding your past statements is practically impossible. Kennedy really isn’t even a part of the conversation, yet.

If he achieves significance, the spotlight shining on him will show those who will finally be paying attention exactly what he’s all about.

Dealing with these opponents is not difficult as long as you do not allow them to set their narratives. Hammer them over things they believe that turns off voters and do not let them forget the primary issues at present, inflation, high prices and illegal immigration.

“he would be on MSNBC and CNN non stop if he were so helpful to the Dem party”

That makes no sense whatsoever.

He helps the Rats by taking votes away from Trump. RFK therefore has to be portrayed in the Trump-hating media as being on the RIGHT, not the loony left (where he actually is). And he’s going to do that on.... MSNBC and CNN???? LOL.

No, he’s going to do that by appearing on so-called “conservative” outlets like Fox which gladly promote Trump-haters. RFK’s conservative “cred” would not only NOT be enhanced by appearing on the lunatic leftist alphabet networks, it would be hurt.

What he’s doing is exactly the right thing to help Biden.

Kennedy is gaining ground with the independent right because he’s going on all these shows, doing all these podcasts and interviews and getting his message out.

Will Trump ever sit down and chop it up with Joe Rogan for two hours? 🤔

Doubtful...

I don’t see him as an alternative to Trump, but very early on, he was reaching out to Trump voters in his messaging. He’s just too far left on a lot of issues though.

According to RCP’s polling averages Trump’s lead increase when 3rd party candidates are included (instead of a simple two way poll against Biden)

Never Trumper 3-D chess. Get Trump supporters to work at derailing RFKjr’s campaign. Another words, do Biden’s dirty work for him. This is all bullshit.

It is sad that a scumbag such as yourself was allowed back on FR.

Every other poll shows RFK drawing way more from Biden than Trump.. so let’s go with the outlier because it reinforces the narrative we want.

From what I’ve heard RFK Jr sounds more like DJT than The Big Guy. I can easily imagine RFK being a Rat Party plant from the beginning.

Um, no. First, this is a garbage poll. Only likely voters are worth polling. Second, RFK is a left-of-center guy. There’s no way that he appeals to MAGA voters except as it relates to vaccines and anti-censorship. Other than that, he literally has nothing in common with Trump. That’s not enough.

Chris LaCivita, Trump’s co-campaign manager expressed concern. Write him off? My guess is that’s why Trump’s social media over the weekend was so Spivey toward RFKjr.

1046 adults. How many are illegals, felons, or both?
