A new poll shows President Joe Biden leading Trump 44% to 37%, with Kennedy notching 16%.

Released by Marist in partnership with NPR and PBS Newshour on Tuesday, the poll shows a five-point drop among Democrats for Biden with Kennedy in the race. Meanwhile, the survey indicates a 10-point drop among Republicans for Trump with RFK Jr. on the ticket.

        I’m done making bets on anything about Trump’s actions. He’s way too chaotic and high on his own supply. There’s just no way to predict his actions. He very well might think he can take on RFK and that all the polls are wrong.

      I really hope that they get completely crushed in the election. The strongest message possible has to be sent. One where they can’t claim the election was stolen or any bullshit excuse (of course they will still try).

      This has to be the end of trump and his cronies or it’s going to be the end of us as a nation. There’s no middle ground at all.

        A solitary vote should, in theory, be enough. I agree with hoping for a strong message, however we shouldn’t normalize cheating in elections. We should combat it by shoring up the election process and system not either side winning by bigger margins.

        However, a profound defeat may make it more obvious to those in the future that not rooting out problems early leads to long term losses not gains. Make fair elections to be in their interest.
