The finding contrasts with a number of other national polls, and it comes amid concerted Democratic efforts to prevent Kennedy from harming Biden’s campaign.
I thought this was common knowledge months ago. Didn’t Fox news even discover this shorty after they started pushing RFK Jr? I never understood why conservative media kept the RKF Jr train going after that was known.
Edit to add:
This also seems like a giant misunderstanding from the conservative side. They worship a name instead of ideology. The liberal side worships the ideology, irrespective of the name. Conservatives thought liberals would tie themselves to RFK Jr because thats what conservatives would do in the place of liberals. Whoops!
It was, at least among people who don’t get all their information from Fox News, Breitbart or random neo-nazis on Twitter lol, but we don’t stop election polling just because one poll was already conducted months ago.
I think the right is trying to push him back into the left as a Biden alternative now that Biden is a lot more unpopular than the last time they tried.
You’re supporting my point about conservatives loving a name (and thinking liberals do too), instead of an ideology. Putting his batshit craziness aside for a moment, when I look at RFK Jrs policy positions, he’s not a liberal. Why do conservatives think liberals would vote for a conservative?
His policies appear to be:
anti climate change initiatives
anti vaccination (even for things like measles!)
believes abortion is a tragedy, but said he’d allow it
thinks US support of Ukraine is a mistake, and thinks diplomacy would solve it instead (Has he not read the Budapest Memorandum?)
backs Texas’s actions at the southern border
wants to make government backed 3% mortgages, but doesn’t talk about where the money would come from or where all the new housing would either
“The radical in the term refers to a willingness on the part of most radical centrists to call for fundamental reform of institutions.[1] The centrism refers to a belief that genuine solutions require realism and pragmatism, not just idealism and emotion.[2]”
I guess I would fit that definition, but nothing about RFK Jr is realistic or pragmatic. C’mon, him being anti-vax, and anti climate change fixes? What about that is realistic or pragmatic?

Its crazy to think that comparing to RFK Jr, George W Bush is more liberal.
Because other polls show him eating into Biden more. That’s why they were pushing him.
It makes for an excellent grift.
Of whom? Certainly not liberals.
No. But they’re hardly the only people in America worth grifting.
Lots of smug Radical Centrists who can get suckered in with a No Labels party.
I had to look up what a “Radical Centrist” was.
According to Wikipedia:
“The radical in the term refers to a willingness on the part of most radical centrists to call for fundamental reform of institutions.[1] The centrism refers to a belief that genuine solutions require realism and pragmatism, not just idealism and emotion.[2]”
