Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s independent presidential campaign is expected to affect the main matchup between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, with a new poll showing he may be taking more votes away from the latter.
An NBC News poll released on Sunday shows twice as many voters who would support Trump in a head-to-head matchup with Biden say they would support Kennedy in a five-way race, when compared to Biden supporters in a head-to-head matchup.
The survey shows 15% of those who support Trump in a two-way race would support Kennedy in a five-way race. Comparatively, 7% of those who support Biden in a two-way race would support Kennedy in a five-way race. The defectors are enough to make a difference in who is leading in the national polling, depending on how candidates are listed.
In a head-to-head race, the NBC News poll shows Trump leading 46%-44%, but in a five-way race including Biden, Trump, Kennedy, Jill Stein, and Cornel West, Biden leads Trump 39%-37%, with 13% opting for Kennedy.
The effect of Kennedy on the race has been a topic of discussion since he launched his independent bid last year. Different polls and analysts have had different conclusions on who Kennedy would help and hurt between Biden and Trump.
--- Quote ---The NBC poll was taken from April 12 to 16 among 1,000 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Hard to believe since much of what Kennedy stands for is not much different from Biden.
