Trump’s lead jumped to 9 points over Biden when Kennedy, Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independent Cornel West were included in the ballot test.
(To make the debate stage, candidates must also appear on state ballots totaling at least 270 electoral votes.
I should point out that third party and independent candidates tend to see their polling decline over the course of the campaign.
Now, it’s quite possible that Kennedy voters will stick by him the more they hear about his positions.
National polling for the most part has, after all, shown Kennedy voters prefer Trump to Biden, though not uniformly.
