Stirewalt: RFK Jr. Has Room to Grow Among MAGA Republicans, Attracts Bernie Sanders Variety of Dems

EXCERPT:

STIREWALT: "Look, you don’t rule anything out, and certainly Biden is trying to do a tough flex by, 'We’re not going to play in New Hampshire,' which leaves him open to the possibility of same thing that RFK’s father exploited against Lyndon Johnson in 1968. So certainly there are some ways here for him to get in the race and cause some problems. And I don’t want to pretend that there aren’t any Democrats, especially of sort of the Bernie Sanders variety, that aren’t drawn to sort of an anti-establishment and angry populist outside message who's frustrated with the way things are. It's not saying there aren’t any Democrats, but I think you have hit it exactly right. The number -- the place where I see Kennedy having room to grow is actually among Republicans and among MAGA Republicans, populist left and populist right, but particularly for older voters who are disaffected and frustrated and prone to think that there is a conspiracy arrayed against them, he is that candidate. And what I would love to know is, how would he pull if he were running as a Republican, number one? And number two, in a three-way race with Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if RFK jr. were running as an independent, how would he poll there?"
