This is just opinion, and not based on polls of any sort...I think he gets a smattering of people that are dead center and to the left, along with a few people on the right. Mostly I think he's just grabbing people that tend to lean left but are super tired of the DNC.

He made a huge mistake with his take on the 2nd Amendment and his advocacy for Israel. A lot of people on the left turned away from him after he became pro-Israel. Some of the people in the center turned away with his stance on 2A. His take on reparations hurt him a little bit as well.

The types who follow Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald, along with a smattering of right-wing populists whose most important issues are opposing vaccines, dismantling much of the federal spying apparatus and reforming America's interventionist foreign policy.

I think his primary base will be nostalgic 65+ year olds. I know it’s anecdotal, but the only person I’ve heard consistently speak of him at all is my 66 year old mother, who is historically conservative

Then there are those that have looked at all the candidates and found nothing but dirtbags and pick him by default.

If Trump goes to jail and the Cabal nominates a Nikki Haley type, just watch.


Of the announced candidates, I am down to three ... Trump, Vivek and DeSantis that I will vote fire before I go Kennedy.

Considering the above, and the 15% or so of democrats who are not insane, and probably a sizable minority of true independents, Kennedy lands at 15-25% depending on who the GOP selects.

I heard on tv today it is gen z and millennials.

They said RFK is polling better with them in swing states than Trump and Biden.

He has no base. He’s delusional.

Definitely not. The covid cult mamas are definitely not in his camp.

If the Uniparty somehow manages to make us stuck with Nikki Haley, I’d vote for him.

RFK Jr's base is people who hate Biden and Trump. They don't really like RFK Jr, they just want to vote against the 2 geriatrics.

Kooky anti vaxxers. Not just COVID but all of the vaxes. I imagine he’s siphoned off a good number of the q tards.

Alleged conservatives saying they would vote for a Kennedy. An openly pro reparations, anti 2A Kennedy at that

I think the Kennedys lobotomized the whole country. It's technically alive, but retarded, just taking up space. Death will be a merciful end.

I think he had the potential to hurt Trump more than Biden.

His stance on 2 A and particularly reparations have helped minimize impact on Trump.

He seems to be running from the reparations statement. The right said no way and crazy left, female blacks, said not far enough, want cash not tax credits.

His website has edited his position away from just blacks to "devastated communities".

According to a recent poll upwards of 75% of people don't want a trump/biden rematch. I don't believe he will get a huge vote but I do believe he will get a chunk of that crowd, enough to change the election. If biden makes it to next November I bet rfk gets a bigger dem vote
