This is actually pretty worrying. A lot of polls show Harris doing better with RFK and co on the ballot. From split polling, seems like RFK was pulling supporters from both camps but at a 3:1 ratio of trumpers. If even half of those go back to trump that'd be really bad news.
Recent polls I've seen show Harris doing as well or better without RFK.
Yougov 8/14-16: Harris +2 with RFK, +3 without RFK
Outward Intelligence 8/11-15: Harris +6 with or without RFK
Emerson College 8/12-14: Harris +4 with or without RFK
Ipsos 8/9-13: Harris +3 with RFK, +4 without RFK
Totally fair, thanks for sharing and I love that you brought the receipts! I'm thinking of the last NYT/Sienna poll (which is kind of the gold standard) I recall. Should dive in again now that polling is a little more settled!
Yeah, it doesn't matter for her.
My step mother was planning on voting for RFK dad is full on trump... now it's two trumps... I only cancel 1 of my family =/
Polls are useless. Just go vote everyone!
