Polls Show Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Preferred by Young Voters Over Biden, Trump in 2024 Presidential Race

Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. enjoys significant support from Generation Z and millennials according to a New York Times/Siena College poll, despite his controversial anti-vaccine stance and conspiracy theories, heralding challenges for Biden and Trump in the 2024 presidential race.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate, is currently favoured by Generation Z and millennials over both Biden and Trump in the 2024 presidential race according to a poll by The New York Times and Siena College.
  • Despite his controversial anti-vaccine stance and conspiracy theories, Kennedy's popularity is largely attributed to widespread dissatisfaction among young voters with the two major political parties and the current political system.
  • Kennedy has managed to attract 34% of voters aged 18 to 29, eclipsing Biden and Trump who gathered 30% and 29% support respectively. The pattern is replicated among millennials aged 30 to 44, with Kennedy receiving 31% of the support.
  • Kennedy's family legacy is also playing a role in his popularity, with some suggesting that his name recognition and connection to former President John F. Kennedy are factors in his support base.
  • However, there's caution that this support may not persist as the election draws nearer, and voters become more informed, as younger voters, who are generally considered lower-information voters at this stage, might reconsider their choice closer to the election.
