Must Read Alaska’s 24-hour survey asked readers on Sunday, Aug. 25 if the endorsement by former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. would make a positive difference in November for Donald Trump.
Here are the results after 24 hours:
Must Read Alaska quick reader polls are not scientific but the readership tends to be made up of conservative, politically engaged Alaskans.
Alaskans may see things differently than the mainstream media. ABC News’ FiveThirtyEight.com poll analysis website says RFK Jr.’s endorsement will have little effect:
“Our analysis of the polling data suggests Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump will have a minimal impact on the race. Kennedy, who has consistently polled around 5 percent since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee, was drawing roughly equally from both Trump and Harris, with that support coming from both traditionally Democratic and traditionally Republican groups. His endorsement of Trump may marginally help the Republican among white, male, and older voters. But the effect of his departure on overall support for either candidate will be small,” the polling analysis says.
But 5% could be a make-or-break number in some of the battleground states, something that ABC does not acknowledge.
Kennedy said Friday that he is withdrawing his name in battleground states where he might prove to be a spoiler, but will remain on the ballot in other states. Yet he also suspended his campaign Friday and endorsed Trump.
Trump will be far ahead of Harris after the first debate. She sounds like an uneducated woman with a huge chip on her shoulder. RFK2 will help out in the 3 to 5 percent range.
Unlikely
Jeff and Mark did you consult with Ben and Jerry on this issue while having ice cream of Biden’s favorite flavor ?
Ed,
No they didn’t. Apparently we aren’t gay enough.
LOL.
Kamala’s only hope is to be so irritating that Trump thumps her, after which she will play the Peltola victim card and spend the rest of the campaign whining that he was mean to me. Great persuasion, that. Cheer s-
Tiffany, check out her education and experience on wikipedia.
I guess we’ll see. I still think no, but would be happy to be wrong.
What the ABC poll analysis fails to address is the strength of the reasons that RFK Jr. gave for withdrawing: That the Democrat Party no longer believes in democracy and is, instead, controlled by a group of folks including the Obamas, the Clintons, Chuckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, entertainment and media people and various Deep State operatives. These folks, in the case of RFK Jr. this year, and Bernie Sanders previously, were excluded from primary election and debate events. Tulsi Gabbard gave many of the same reasons today when endorsing the Donald.
No one can honestly say that Kamala Harris was selected by a democratic process.
I am no big fan of the Donald but it is very clear that Kamala Harris represents oligarchy and “elites.” These people do not have the best interests of the United States in mind, but rather only their own power and wealth.
JMARK, I agree tottaly. What RFK Jr represents is that group of Democrats who love this Nation and our beautiful Constitution.
This is a struggle between uni-party rule inspired by Global Elites and the American people and our freedoms.. Many of us have little in common with RFK Jr, however the beliefs we do hold in common are of the utmost importance and are a Hill to Die on.
I see the concept of Co- Belligerence at play here. We may not be buddies, pals or friends but we have a common interest in saving the Republic and defending it from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Robert, you are right. The few constitutional principals we agree with Kennedy on are foundational to our republic. We cling to them today only because of the countless Americans who have given their lives to preserve them for us.
And look what choices we are given as this is the best that a country with over 300 million can offer?
What a sham and fix game for the elites.
She is so engrossed in what can be, unburdened by what has been. She will have he’s a$$ handed to her during a debate. They will find a way out. A debate would be a death stroke for her.
Trump represents business, hard work and the rule of law. Harris and her ilk, meaning democrats, are criminals. They represent all that is evil, foul, filthy, demonic, and against the law of GOD. There is nothing “elite” about these fallen souls. Trump would do well to have Little Bobby enter and depart via the servants door.
Like Masked Avenger, I hope I am wrong, but I really don’t see a Trump win now. Someone named Leo who is supposed to be part of the Trump family, is accusing Trump of being in the first stages of dementia. This is circulating on the web, and with the Biden example can hurt Trump due to his age. There are other plans afoot to keep Trump out of the White House. Coupled with the mainline media’s treating of Kamala as the “second coming” is pushing her numbers up. People may say they don’t believe the press, but they appear to follow it. Trump needs to stick to the economy message and pound it all around the country. Forget the personal attacks. Remind people of the hardships they are going through.
Democrats are too stupid to be entrusted to choose their own candidates?
It’s gotten so bad that Democrats have to steal the election from their own voters.
The question should be “Will Democrats attempt to steal this election hurt or help them?
Guaranteed if Harris wins this election in 6 months no one will be happy and WW3 will be full on. Can you imagine her as commander and chief.??? Sickening.

I have said openly that I am a third generation Republican and my Grandfather Arthur Johnson was elected into the State of Alaska House of Representatives as a Republican for District 23 in 1960.

I am today years old, to have researched the 1960 election.
My Grandpa beat out Charles E. Fagerstrom. hahaha ha
However, I digress.
That was just a little satisfaction fact I learned right now.
Back to the main point.
I have always looked up to Donald Trump for his audacious honesty, and relentless love for the underdog.
I contributed to his campaign the first time.
I got so battle worn, and such a lack of trust in the world around me that I left Alaska. And I got tired of listening to Donald Trump. He is annoying.
I did not ever think I would come back here.
But I did.
Those grandbabies are powerful human beings.
I am now an Undeclared registered voter because I lost faith in all parties.
As an Alaska Native-and a human – I don’t fit into no box.
And furthermore, I do not like to be boxed in.
I believe in Eunice Kennedy-Shriver.
And therefore, I will follow Kennedy’s endorsement and vote for Donald Trump.
You seem to be wise and are making a balanced decision.
For a long time our political system has been rigged and divisive by design. A 2 party system that have opposite view points that induce cognitive dissonance when studied with any scrutiny. A form of mind control to make the populace feel a level of discomfort which drives people to be more compliant to one side or another, just so they don’t have to make tough decisions for themselves, such as personal responsibility and holding elected officials accountable.
The issues we are presented with to vote for are inorganic and detract from true issues we face as a whole.
Sure, there are something that are presented that have some validity but for the most part the issues are social ones that should be resolved on a personal level rather than a socio economic level.
Thinks like abortion “rights” and identity should be on a case by case basis and not applied to everyone as a whole. But instead we have pro-abortion vs pro-life which keeps us continually divided. When we the people are divided, we are less likely to unit against a common threat and that is one of narcissistic control from the political class.
True issues we should all be holding our elected officials accountable for should be that of human trafficking, population economic enslavement and the right for us to keep current energy production while also seeking more efficient means.
There are no representatives that I know of other than Trump and the MAGA proponents that hold my values for humanity.
I don’t vote for lesser of the 2 evils.
I take action to correct the imbalance within myself and those around me instead.
If I am to vote, it is for someone that share my perspective.
Trump was an anomaly to an old system of control. That is why everyone hated him when he came in and started to tear the old system apart.
I stand with Trump and anyone else who will help to expose those who have been doing dark and sinister things to humanity and their children.
Alaskans have a huge problem with many indigenous people (mostly women) going missing every year. Do we hear about that from our politicians, or is it the same bait and switch game of division as always?
Fruits, nuts, and flakes–now don’t that cover them all, democrats and republicans? Get out and vote, and cast votes for your dead grandparents and your great grandparents–prove your patriotism! Surely, the party hacks really give a damn about you–whoever you think you are!
538 has concluded that Kennedy joining Donald helps Harris more than Trump. Choose your business partners wisely. And then there is JD. And the pillow guy. And Rudy….
