    The same poll puts her up by 2 additional points (42% to 38%) if RFK stays in the race (and makes it onto ballots).

    When voters in the survey were shown a hypothetical ballot that included independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Harris led Trump 42% to 38%, an advantage outside the margin of error. Kennedy, favored by 8% of voters in the poll, has yet to qualify for the ballot in many states ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

      Guess I’m telling all of my Republican Maga-supporting customers that I’m voting for RFK. It’s easier to convince them to split their vote into RFK than it is to talk them into voting for a Democrat, because they’ve been brainwashed by their families. Lots of them have expressed kinda teetering on that edge, so I’m gonna just give 'em a li’l push.

      If I could convince them to go all the way, I would - but getting them to split the ticket is the next best thing.
