If RFKJ drops out of the race and endorses Trump, how much of his support moves to Trump?

It seems like the majority of people who have decided to vote for RFKJ are the Republican never Trumpers and democrats who are not pleased with the major radical left turn the Democratic Party has been representing. Do we believe that these people will follow RFKJ’s endorsement and vote for Trump, do we believe they will just not vote, or do you believe they will move back to voting for the radical left agenda and vote for Kamala?

What percentage goes to Trump?

What percentage decides to not vote?

What percentage goes back to the Democrats?

I’d rather him stay a candidate than drop out as I believe that will help us more.

Net 1% for Trump.

A lot depends on Friday. If he makes a passionate plea to follow him because he is going to have some type of active role in a trump administration it may sway the majority of his supporters.

I'd wager this is probably the most popular outcome.

RFK Jr. dropping out and endorsing Trump gives 0.5 to 1% advantage to Trump.

Very hard to say at this point, because Kennedys' followers were, in large part, sick of the Democrats and sick of Trump at the same time.
Trump probably would have gained more if Kennedy was his running mate, instead of Vance. Just my opinion...

The mainstream polls will say Trump loses points.

Kennedy numbers dropped when Kamala became the candidate. I think the portion that we’re going with her are already gone. 80% will either sit this one out or go Trump, if he’s prominent in the Trump campaign it could mean a 2/3 % swing, Kennedy supporters on Twitter are pissed at the DNC.

If he comes into the fold it is in essence a sort of coalition government. Kennedy will be rewarded. And he will likely campaign his butt off for Trump. The message or platform may be different than you like but if it takes a coalition, it has to happen. If there is a downfall now in our form of government it is that coalitions never happen. The others end up as a protest vote and they can only take away from the republicans. The republican party has to change going forward. This may be a start. In changing for example, it would be nice to develop a realistic way to work with hispanics instead of forgetting about them. When you think about it, if hispanics were a threat to dilute the "traditional vote" in favor of the democrats, what do they do if hispanics start to shift the other way? We should work to shift this the other way. I had an El Salvadoran neighbor working towards citizenship. He was a former three star general in the ES army. And he was a wonderful religious guy.

Most people vote 3rd party because they don’t like either candidate. They aren’t just going to vote for him just because

Most won’t vote. It might benefit Trump a tad. Many will go to Harris

1-2% which is huge in swing states. If that gives trump 10-20 k extra votes that’s very important

I think it actually gives never trumpers an "out" to vote for Trump. Basically they can now vote for Trump even if they don't like Trump because RFK will present things in a way that a vote for Trump is a vote for the greater good and is the sensible and correct thing to do.

I think it’s a state by state thing. If you look at some recent polls where Kamala is up by 1 or 2 points she gains an extra point in a race with all candidates. It may give Trump an extra point in some of the blue wall states.
