Tim Malloy,\u2064 a\u2062 polling analyst from\u200b Quinnipiac, remarked \u2062on the mixed\u2064 implications of Kennedy&#8217;s endorsement, particularly among independent voters, who are crucial to the election&#8217;s outcome. Kennedy suspended his\u200d own presidential campaign before\u2062 endorsing Trump on August 23.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Voters mostly unchanged after RFK Jr. endorsement of Trump: Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1742033\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rfk-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Robert F.

Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s endorsement of former President Donald Trump garnered significant media attention, but it seems to have had little effect on the presidential race. A recent Quinnipiac University poll shows that voters&#8217; perceptions of Trump remain mostly stable. Sixty-four percent of respondents indicated that Kennedy&#8217;s endorsement does not alter their view of Trump, while 19% feel more positively about him and 15% feel less positively. &#8220;RFK Jr., whose own presidential campaign is faltering, has aligned himself with Donald Trump,&#8221; stated Tim Malloy, a polling analyst at Quinnipiac University. &#8220;However, it&#8217;s unclear whether he will be an advantage or a disadvantage; independents\u2014crucial to the election outcome\u2014are not significantly changing their opinions about Trump because of him.&#8221; Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump on August 23rd. A Pew Research survey found that many supporters of the independent candidate shifted their allegiance to Vice President Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden exited the race by nearly a two-to-one ratio. Although Kennedy&#8217;s support for Trump may not influence national trends significantly, even a slight shift in swing states could potentially benefit the former president greatly. CNN noted that Trump&#8217;s team hopes Kennedy&#8217;s departure might be pivotal in tight races decided by narrow margins, similar to those seen in 2020. According to the same Quinnipiac poll, Vice President Kamala Harris holds 49% support nationally compared to Trump&#8217;s 47%, with Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver each receiving 1%. In a direct matchup between Harris and Trump, Harris leads with 49% while Trump follows closely at 48%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2333988,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/trump-rfk-arizona-1024x591.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[13348,3921,32458,3634,4223],"class_list":["post-2333987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-endorsement","tag-poll","tag-rfk-jr","tag-trump","tag-voters"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/trump-rfk-arizona-1024x591.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2333987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2333987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
