In a recent national poll conducted by Quinnipiac University, it has been revealed that a majority of likely voters remain unaffected by former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of former President Trump. The survey, released on Thursday, indicates that 64 percent of likely voters stated that Kennedy's support for Trump did not change their view of the 45th president.

Interestingly, the poll also found that 19 percent of respondents viewed the endorsement in a positive light, stating that it made them think "more favorably" of Trump. On the other hand, 15 percent of the participants claimed that the endorsement made them view Trump "less favorably".

The survey further shed light on how respondents perceive Kennedy himself. Results showed that 42 percent of participants held an unfavorable view of Kennedy, while 32 percent had a favorable opinion of the environmental lawyer. Interestingly, 24 percent claimed that they had not heard enough about the former White House candidate.

Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy commented on Kennedy's endorsement, stating, "RFK Jr. - his own presidential prospects in a nosedive - bounces to Donald Trump's camp. But is he an asset or a liability? Independents, so critical to the outcome of the race, aren't exactly swayed by him to change their views about Trump."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. initially entered the White House race as a Democrat but later switched to an independent bid in October. Although he gained some traction in the polls, with numbers reaching the high teens in certain national surveys, his popularity has waned in recent weeks, dipping into single digits.

Last week, Kennedy announced the suspension of his presidential campaign and threw his support behind Trump. He also expressed his intention to have his name removed from the ballots in battleground states where his influence could be a determining factor in the November election. However, it appears that some key swing states, such as Michigan and Wisconsin, have declined to remove him from their general election ballots.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of former President Trump ultimately failed to significantly sway the majority of likely voters, according to the Quinnipiac University poll. The survey provides valuable insights into the impact of high-profile endorsements and their effectiveness in influencing public opinion during the upcoming election.
