RFK Jr could draw one in seven US voters in 2024 presidential election, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is known for being against vaccines, and is part of a famous American political family, might get support from about one in seven American voters, according to a poll by Reuters/Ipsos. He is expected to announce his presidential campaign on Monday.

The poll found that Kennedy could take votes away from both President Joe Biden and his likely rival, Donald Trump, in the 2024 election. Kennedy plans to run as an independent. This could make things complicated in a country where people are deeply divided and not very excited about either Biden or Trump.

The poll, which was done over two days across the country and finished on Wednesday, showed that in a two-way competition, both Biden and Trump had the support of 35% of the people surveyed. About 11% said they would vote for someone else, 9% said they wouldn't vote at all, and 9% weren't sure who they'd vote for.

In a scenario where Kennedy was also in the race, he got 14% support, Biden's support dropped to 31%, and Trump's support dropped to 33%. About 9% said they wouldn't vote, and 13% weren't sure who they'd vote for.

The poll results showed that Biden and Trump were essentially tied, but it's important to note that the poll was done online with 1,005 people, so it may not be super precise.

Kennedy is expected to announce in Philadelphia on Monday that he's dropping his challenge to Biden for the Democratic Party's nomination and running as an independent candidate instead.

While Kennedy may not be seen as a top contender for president, he benefits from having a famous name. His father and uncle were both important political figures in the 1960s.

Kennedy's appeal to voters from both parties might be because of his views, which are more in line with supporters of Trump, who are against vaccines and believe in conspiracy theories, rather than Biden's more moderate and left-leaning base.

Kennedy has been banned from YouTube for spreading false information about vaccines and COVID-19. The White House, other Democrats, and medical professionals have said that his remarks have encouraged anti-Semitism and racial bias.

Kennedy has also made claims that antidepressants cause school shootings, Wi-Fi radiation causes cancer, and that the 2004 election that re-elected George W. Bush was rigged. Plaese Share This News Thank You
