Recent polls reveal that Republicans are more likely than Democrats to view Robert F. Kennedy Jr. favorably. Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump, citing concerns that his continued candidacy could aid Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Kennedy's support had declined in recent polls, showing little impact on the overall election outcome. His appeal largely stemmed from dissatisfaction with a Biden-Trump rematch, but Harris' rise harmed his prospects, particularly among women and non-white voters.
