A new poll shows President Joe Biden leading Trump 44% to 37%, with Kennedy notching 16%.
Released by Marist in partnership with NPR and PBS Newshour on Tuesday, the poll shows a five-point drop among Democrats for Biden with Kennedy in the race. Meanwhile, the survey indicates a 10-point drop among Republicans for Trump with RFK Jr. on the ticket.
One thing that’s been nice on Lemmy so far is we can actually discuss polls without all the top level posts being something along the lines of “Don’t listen to polls, VOTE!”… as if anyone who subs to the politics section of a social media site doesn’t know voting is important.
I agree, but I still think you might be surprised how many actually don’t sometimes or always in practice. I would assume it’s less than the average person, but it’s not zero.
as a foreign national I can’t vote, only listen to polls so…
Me too. I’ll never visit America even, just caught up in the drama.
Our political system might be fucked up, but at least it does produce a lot of drama. You’re welcome world (or we’re sorry if it caused you harm).
I’m actually curious how accurate/meaningful this poll is, and whether we found expect to see this continue over the year.
