Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hasn't qualified to appear on every ballot in November, but recent polling suggests he is posing a real threat to President Joe Biden.
indicate that the independent presidential candidate is drawing his strongest support from voters under 30 and Latinos, giving truth to the concern Democrats have he could spoil Biden’s reelection campaign.
Kennedy has 18% support from voters under 30 and 14% from Latinos in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in a poll released earlier this week.“Young voters and Latinos respond really well to a hard-edge economic populist message — and that is not Biden’s message,” Ben Tulchin said. “They’re dissatisfied about the political and economic status quo. And I see in that mind-set the potential opening to support a third-party candidate.
Kennedy’s support could turn the 2024 election into “multidimensional chess, and it becomes a lot more complicated,” Tulchin said, while 2020 remained two-dimensional.found that 59% of Hispanic voters and those aged 18-29 chose Biden in 2020, both among the largest leads Democrats have in age and racial demographics.
