Fox poll shows Trump leading Biden by 1 point; holds bigger lead with RFK Jr.
Former President Trump leads President Biden by just 1 point among registered voters, according to a new Fox News national poll.
The poll found Trump at 49 percent support among registered voters in a hypothetical match-up, up 1 point from Biden’s 48 percent.
When other presidential candidates such as independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West were included in the poll, Trump leads Biden by 3 points among registered voters, 43 percent to 40 percent.
Polls have provided mixed signals over whether the presence of Kennedy and other third-party candidates will hurt Trump or Biden more. This one suggests Kennedy would pull more support from Biden.
In the end, the third-party candidates could have the biggest impacts in swing states such as Michigan, where Kennedy is on the ballot. Kennedy, who is winning the most support in polls of third-party candidates, is seeking to get on ballots across the country.
The Fox News poll also found that 68 percent of registered voters feel “extremely” motivated to vote in this year’s presidential election. Fifteen percent in the poll said they feel “very” motivated to vote in the upcoming election, 10 percent said they were “somewhat” motivated and 6 percent said they were not motivated “at all.”
The Fox News poll was conducted May 10-13 under the direction of Beacon Research and Shaw & Company Research and features a sample of 1,126 registered voters, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
