RFK Jr. has a big primary problem: Democrats like Joe Biden | CNN Politics
www.cnn.com
Joe Biden’s approval ratings remain low. A majority of Democrats don’t want him to run for another term. But Biden challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is more than 40 points behind the president in national Democratic primary surveys and there is zero sign Biden’s support is weakening.

This article skeptically interrogates data from recent polling. RFK Jr. supporters and various media outlets have reported that RFK Jr. has the highest favoribility rating among primary challengers in either primary. However, delving through the data shows that RFK Jr’s primary source of support comes from the Republican electorate, which does not help him in a Democratic primary. Furthermore, among Democrats, Biden has a much higher favoribility rating than RFK Jr.

    He really doesn’t talk like a Democrat. Also it’s kinda funny how since the first comment on this post was deleted, Lemmy marks the post as having “-1 comments”

      Yes, that is curious. And after you posted it said 0 comments (1 new). I don’t know the proper avenue to report software bugs for Lemmy, but that is a bug.

      RFK Jr’s platform has nothing to do with the Democrat platform as far as I can tell. He is attempting to run as a populist with unpopular platforms, and as a Democrat with Republican platforms. His main feature that is driving a plurality of his polling favorability is that his last name is Kennedy.
