A new Marist poll has concluded that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent run for President will take a large enough chunk of support away from Donald Trump and swing the 2024 election to Joe Biden.
The poll found that in a three way race between Kenndy, Trump and Biden, Biden’s support decreased to 44 percent among registered voters, while Trump’s dramatically dropped to 37 percent, with Kennedy taking 16 percent of support, and 3 percent remaining undecided.
The survey recorded a whopping 10-point drop in support among Republicans for Trump with RFK Jr. on the ticket.
Among independent voters, Trump polled higher than Biden, 49 percent to 43 percent, with 8 percent undecided.
However, when Kennedy is thrown into the mix, 34 percent of independents said they would vote for Trump, 33 percent said they would vote for Biden, and 29 percent said they would vote for Kennedy, with 4 percent undecided.
Lee M. Miringoff, Director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion noted “Although it’s always tricky to assess the impact of a third-party candidate, right now Kennedy alters the equation in Biden’s favor.”
“What this does speak to, however, is that about one in six voters are looking for another option especially independents,” Miringoff added.
The findings run in contradiction to similar poll earlier this month that found that Kennedy running as an independent would marginally help Trump:
