RFK Jr. emerges as potential spoiler in 2020 presidential race

A recent poll from NBC News indicates that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) could pose a significant threat to Donald Trump, potentially more so than to President Joe Biden. In a head-to-head matchup, Trump leads Biden by a narrow margin of 2 percentage points (46% to 44%). However, when the ballot expands to include five candidates, Biden gains a slight advantage with 39% of the vote, followed by Trump with 37% and RFK Jr. with a surprising 13%. Notably, 15% of voters who initially supported Trump in the head-to-head matchup shifted their allegiance to RFK Jr. in the expanded ballot.
