Topline

2024 Democratic presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—an environmental lawyer with anti-vaccine views and a strong family dynasty at his back—has higher favorability numbers than either President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll by The Economist and YouGov, even as Biden maintains a lead in the 2024 primary.



Kennedy Jr. was viewed favorably by 49% of respondents and unfavorably by just 30%, leaving him with a net rating of 19 points—higher than any other candidate in the poll, which surveyed 1,500 adult respondents from June 10 to 13.

Biden had a negative 9-point net favorability rating, with 52% of respondents viewing him somewhat or very unfavorably while 45% have very or somewhat favorable impressions, and Trump had a negative 10-point net rating, with 53% viewing him unfavorably and 43% favorably.

However, some 21% of respondents didn’t offer an opinion on Kennedy, far greater than the single-digit figures posted by Trump and Biden.

Some other high-profile 2024 candidates posted negative favorability ratings: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) had a favorability rating of negative 5 points, and former Vice President Mike Pence (R)'s net rating was negative 17.

Only 19% of people view Democratic candidate and self-help author Marianne Williamson favorably, compared to 24% who viewed her unfavorably, though 57% of respondents didn’t have an opinion on her.
Big Number

20%. A CNN poll last month showed that about one-fifth of Democratic voters supported Kennedy's run for president. Some 60% planned to support Biden, and 8% favored Williamson.

And what happens when ol' white joe drops out of the 2024 race?

Who will be best-situated to claim the vacancy?

[LMAO]

Interesting

Interesting

I think so as well.  I think he'll continue to rise in the polls for what they're worth.

I believe that if he gets the nomination, he will be the next president. People don’t care for Trump or Biden, and it looks like Ron DeSantis isn’t high up there either on the favorability rating

Personally, I think it is way too early to tell.  We are over a year out for heaven's sake.

Toljaso... He's got some beans... Even bipartisan beans...

Of course I'd never vote for him... but he's a serious contender. Especially to unhappy dems with Camelot in their eyes.

And I believe he could win the election. In fact, I believe he could beat whoever the Republicans put up to run against him.

There's no doubt in my mind that he's the one to watch. Whether he gets the nod from his party fathers is yet to be seen -

Much the same environment exists in the party structures on the left as they do on the right... He needs blessing from a mighty house or they will run him over. And that could be so - What makes it interesting is that those who are controlling Bidet are having trouble keeping all those frayed puppet strings firmly tied... And nobody wants Kameltoe. So I think there is an opening.

Rather surprising that it comes in the form of a Kennedy - A retired house with no real bones that I am aware of, except for shining Camelot, far away in misty memory.

He's gonna make it interesting, I'll tell you what.

[Cyber Liberty]

He's gonna make it interesting, I'll tell you what.

Especially if the media doesn't cover his political record.  This fellow, nice as he may seem, is pretty far left.

[LMAO]

That he is

Oh, I know what he is. Like I said, I'd never vote for him. Jussayin, if he rises through the ranks to become the opponent, whoever is against him is going to have their hands full.

He's the guy to watch.
