.ByronYork's Daily Memo: RFK Jr's long, slow slide
RFK JR's LONG, SLOW SLIDE. Recently some liberals became incensed at the actor Woody Harrelson. His offense was being photographed wearing a campaign hat for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while posing with Kennedy's wife, actress Cheryl Hines. Left-wing Twitter soon became very angry, with one user declaring Harrelson"dead to me."
It doesn't help, for Kennedy's support among Democrats, that some conservative news outlets have given him extensive coverage, while some legacy news outfits have been highly critical."I've been really slammed in a way that I think is unprecedented," Kennedy told Fox News in July."I mean, listen, if I believed the stuff that's written about me in the papers and reported about me on the mainstream news sites, I would definitely not vote for me.
The attacks in news outlets most read and watched by most Democrats have taken a toll. After peaking in April, Kennedy's support, as measured in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls of Democratic voters, has steadily fallen. Kennedy's slide probably reflects a deep fear among Democrats that even a protest challenge to Biden could damage the president's fragile support. Yes, Biden has a huge lead, 63 points, over Kennedy in the Democratic race. But polls of head-to-head matchups between Biden and Trump look terribly risky for the current president.
