Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could receive up to 26% support from registered voters in six key battleground states as voters sour on an increasingly likely rematch between President Biden and former President Donald Trump, a new poll shows.
The New York Times/Siena College poll showed the 69-year-old political scion, environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine advocate receiving 22% backing in Wisconsin, 23% in Nevada and Pennsylvania, 24% support in Georgia, and 26% in Arizona and Michigan.
The survey also shows Kennedy is most popular with young would-be voters, with 34% of respondents ages 18 to 29 and 31% of respondents ages 30 to 44 saying they would support him in a three-way race.
The son of the late attorney general and senator from New York initially challenged Biden for the Democratic nomination but opted to stage an independent run last month.
If Kennedy does make the ballot in any or all of the six states, the poll indicates his presence is more likely to harm Trump than Biden — but he would take support from both candidates.
