The poll of swing state voters, in partnership with The Telegraph, finds former President Donald Trump leading Biden in five of the six swing states.
Trump leads Biden by 5 percentage points in Arizona, by 3 points in Georgia and North Carolina, and 2 points in blue state Michigan, when newly minted RFK Jr. is included in the hypothetical matchup.
Perhaps no surprise, Trump leads Biden by a whopping 7 percentage points in red state Florida, and the 2020 presidential contestants are tied in Pennsylvania.
Biden beat Trump in 2020 by a slim 0.3 percent in the Grand Canyon State, according to the official tally - although allegations linger about election law violations there.
"Voters who would reluctantly pick Biden in a head-to-head with Trump might jump at the chance to vote for a Kennedy, even if they don't know much about him." The Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll gives Democrats reason to worry.
"Whereas some commentary has suggested that Kennedy's run as an independent would hurt Trump more than Biden, our polling suggests an independent RFK Jr. candidacy may help Trump by a slight margin." About twice as many Biden 2020 voters as Trump 2020 voters say they would vote for RFK Jr. in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Florida, the pollsters said.
Majorities of voters in all six key swing states polled do not believe that either Joe Biden or Donald Trump should run in 2024.
