Kennedy Jr.\u2019s campaign has worsened. Many of the undecided voters who were previously open to voting third party have begun consolidating for Democrats, and more voters who oppose Trump are waking up to the binary choice that they will face in November. As a result, RFK Jr. finds himself with less of a rationale than ever in his narcissistic campaign for president.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look no further than the headlines he\u2019s received in recent days:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Los Angeles Times: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/politics\/story\/2024-07-29\/2024-election-rfk-jr-campaign-struggles\">Robert F.

Now with Vice President Harris likely at the top of the ticket, the decline has become even more precipitous. Over the last week, we have seen a number of humiliating polls for RFK Jr.:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At 4% in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/elections\/harris-erases-trumps-lead-wsj-poll-finds-e286144d\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At 5% in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/07\/25\/us\/elections\/times-siena-poll-registered-voter-crosstabs.html\">New York Times \/ Siena College<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At 6% in <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3901\">Quinnipiac<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Democratic National Committee\u2019s efforts to inform voters about RFK Jr. and define him have not only driven down his support among voters, but they have also driven up his negatives. Since December 2023, Kennedy has seen his net favorability fall from <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3887\">-2<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3901\">-22<\/a> in Quinnipiac. We see an even more dire picture when looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/favorability\/robert-f-kennedy\/\">YouGov<\/a>, where Kennedy has gone from +14 in January to -21 in early July.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spending Time with Trump, Not Voters&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been over 70 days since RFK Jr. held his own campaign rally &#8211; his last was on May 19th in Colorado.

As <em>CBS News <\/em>noted this weekend, &#8220;Kennedy&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mattcorridoni\/status\/1817258138011312572\"> campaign remains mired in single digits and debt.<\/a>\u201d With no resources to build a legitimate organizing operation or deal with mounting legal challenges, the campaign has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/06\/15\/robert-f-kennedy-jr-s-cash-crunch-00163520\">resorted to online gimmicks<\/a> (like a raffle for a cruise on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennedy24.com\/celebrity-cruise-sweepstakes\">\u201ca lavish super yacht\u201d<\/a>) that have thus far failed to take off &#8211; highlighting the absence of real grassroot support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Super PAC tasked with helping RFK Jr. and propped up by Trump\u2019s largest donor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/why-are-timothy-mellons-maga-millions-also-supporting-rfk-jr\/ar-BB1pRUvj\">Timothy Mellon<\/a>, is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/06\/15\/robert-f-kennedy-jr-s-cash-crunch-00163520\">\u201cstraining to expand its Rolodex of potential donors.<\/a>\u201d Even before the change at the top of the ticket and further deterioration in the polls, RFK Jr. was not seen as a worthwhile investment.

RFK Jr. won\u2019t become president, but he can help decide who does.
