When Robert F Kennedy Jr. suspended his own presidential campaign and threw his support behind Donald Trump, it sent shivers among the ranks of the Democratic presidential campaign. Prior polling had shown that Kennedy’s voters by varying degrees preferred Trump over Harris; his endorsement, Democrats feared, could be enough to tip the scale permanently in Trump’s favor.
The most recent polling data from RealClearPolling.com suggests that this is exactly what is happening. In polls published by Yahoo News on Tuesday, August 27th, Kamala Harris only ekes out a 1% lead over Trump. Previously, various polls have put her lead at 3-5%.
