A recent survey conducted by The Hill and Emerson University indicates that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could significantly impact the upcoming election.

The poll suggests that Kennedy’s candidacy might hurt President Joe Biden’s campaign while benefiting former President Donald Trump’s chances.

In a head-to-head matchup between Trump and Biden in key swing states, Trump leads by various margins.

However, when Kennedy is included as an option, Trump’s leads tend to increase. Kennedy’s presence expands Trump’s lead in Georgia and contributes to his advantage in other states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Nevada.

Despite previous positive sentiments between Kennedy and Trump, they have recently exchanged criticisms, Mediaite has reported.

Trump has accused Kennedy of being a Democratic plant intended to aid Biden’s reelection, emphasizing that a vote for Kennedy would ultimately be a “wasted protest vote,” that could “swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him.”
