ABC News reports on their poll, “Kennedy got 12 percent, even though 77 percent of his supporters said they knew “somewhat” or “little to nothing” about his positions on the issues. . Notably, his supporters are more likely to be Republicans or Republican-leaning independents (54%) than Democrats and Democratic leaners (42%, a slight difference given the sample size), and In a two-way race, they favor Trump by 13 points over Biden, which may explain why Trump attacked Kennedy as a “stalking horse” in a social media post last week.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s stance has shifted to the right, getting preferential treatment in conservative media and worrying the Trump campaign.
Donald Trump is facing unprecedented challenges. RFK Jr. challenges him from the right. Trump campaigned just one day a week, spending most of his time in court and spending his campaign resources on legal bills.
Trump does not have the resources or ability to withstand the former president’s challenge of trying to keep voters in his own camp.
The same ABC poll found that as many as 20% of Republicans might stop supporting Donald Trump if he were convicted of a felony.
Trump’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr. problem is turning into a crisis because if the former president is convicted of a felony, the voters he’s lost within the Republican Party will now have somewhere else to go, and they’ve clearly zeroed in on Kennedy.
