I also noticed the same methodological flaw when reviewing the raw data for several polling organizations that regularly showed RFK only winning 2 to 3% of the vote. For both of the polling organizations in question, RFK was not explicitly named as an option, so the 2 to 3% who chose him referred to those who volunteered him as their choice in a poll that made it seem that the only third choice was something like "other." A pollster might argue that having RFK's name appear as an option might put an option into peoples heads that was not otherwise there. True enough. However, the same thing is going to happen when a voter who has not been paying close attention sees his name on the ballot.

There's nothing we can do about the bias of a propaganda outlet like CNN. However, I am very disappointed in real clear politics and have even written them requesting that they remove several organizations from their averages until those organizations start behaving in a professional manner. Since both of the polling organizations that have repeatedly pulled this stunt are partisan left leaning, I suspect that they know exactly what they are doing and are purposefully pushing the averages down to prevent RFK's inclusion on the debate stage.

That being said, I don't even see the value in being on that stage with the rules that they have in place. I think it would be much better to devote the campaign energy to getting Elon Musk to host either a Town hall for RFK alone or a third-party candidate debate on Twitter at the exact same time as the fake debates on the legacy media channels. If nothing else, we'd learn a lot by the numbers that turn out to watch one or the other live.

Grest idea to have Elon Musk hold a debate or town hall with Bobby same day as the CNN debate if they insist on not having him on the stage! CNN is a cheat! And their news is all propaganda!!!

I think we should stop taking the polls and give the statistics people fits-and then the DNC will either undercheat or totally go berserk and solidify what we already can surmise-the DNC probably has an extensive cheating methodology that employs analog cheats(ballot harvesting, poll station employee operatives) and digital cheats(hey why are those voting machines built with a wiFi chip????)

A security analyst told me all it takes to reflash a voting machine is 2 minutes, a laptop and a serial port connector. And I bet you could make a serial hub and flash 8 machines in about 5 minutes with new code. IE: On every <x> Kennedy votes flip to Biden

I have received these biased polls, that doesn’t list Kennedy’s name or says someone else! It infuriates me because also had leading Democrat questions like did you vote for Biden in 2020 & asking me if I am for all these untruthful things that Biden is doing for America like saving social security, making medicines affordable & cleaning up the environment! Such a sad state of affairs today with our government acting like a third world country ran by bullies with deep pockets and lying scammers - our fore fathers are rolling in their graves!!!

If anybody's been looking for the raw data from the Zogby 50 state Paul that Bobby has mentioned many times since it was released, here it is:

Here's one takeaway:

I was really surprised that Biden would be slaughtered by Kennedy in Oregon (8 points) in a two-way race and they are currently tied in New York State. I guess those two states are not as far gone as I thought they were. Sadly, California is still a Biden state in a head to head between him and Kennedy.

I’m afraid that RFK is suffering a one-two punch which will be a knockout blow. 1) A deposition under oath where he admits memory loss due to a brain worm in order to get out of paying his wife as much alimony as she wanted. 2) The second is this clever maneuver by Biden to keep him out of the debate by scheduling it early, early (before he can get traction to do well enough in the polls).

The brainworm does not bother me in my support of RFK, but its memability factor is high. SNL has already done a 10 minute long joke about it.
