New York: After announcing his candidacy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., supported by the American Values 2024 Super PAC, has emerged as a rising star in politics, transitioning from an unknown figure to leading the polls among young voters, outpacing both Biden and Trump in critical states. According to a survey by Sienna College and The New York Times, Kennedy has become a formidable contender to the Washington establishment, making significant strides in an unexpected three-way race, surpassing President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump among voters under 45 in battleground states.
A poll involving 3,662 individuals in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin revealed that in a three-way race scenario among Kennedy, Biden, and Trump, 24 percent of respondents supported Kennedy. Kennedy was chosen by 34% of respondents among voters aged 18 to 29, compared to 30% for Biden and 29% for Trump. Kennedy secured 31% of voters aged 30 to 44, while Biden and Trump garnered 30%.
Kennedy obtained 32% support from voters under 45, with Biden at 30% and Trump at 29%. However, another recent study from Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,610 self-identified registered voters. According to the survey, Kennedy received 38% from the demographic group, compared to Biden (32%) and Trump (27%).
Kennedy has significantly impacted more than anticipated among undecided voters in key states, particularly youth. Based on these figures, the American Values 2024 Super PAC has invested between 10 and 15 million dollars in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Texas to ensure that RFK Jr. is on the ballot in these crucial states. Robert F. Kennedy recently spoke to his supporters, asking for their endorsement and reminding them that they are up against the weakest candidates in U.S. history and that the opportunity for change has never been more promising.
“Trump and Biden have had their time in the Oval Office. ” most voters desire another option in this election,” wrote Kennedy.
“President Biden’s supporters admit that their vote is driven more by fear of Trump’s alleged threat to democracy than by a true belief in his vision,” he continued.
“In that sense, I have never encountered a true ‘Biden voter,’ only someone voting for what is perceived as the lesser of two evils. Currently, polls indicate that among Americans under 45, I am surpassing both candidates. Among Americans under 35, I have a ten-point advantage. Additionally, my impressive average of 24% in crucial states brings me closer to victory. We will win if we can chip away 5% from each of our rivals to reach 34%. Could you keep writing about Kennedy?
“We can materialize these promiscuous numbers with your consistent support. Surprisingly, our campaign has progressed so far with limited resources compared to the significant resources of our opponents. Every time American citizens get to know me beyond the distortions spread by mainstream media, we observe significant transformations and support. Our fundamental approach, based on utilizing new technologies, has proven effective. We can restore our great country’s integrity, progress, and prosperity if we work together. Your unwavering support is highly appreciated,” concludes RFK Jr.’s letter.
