February 26, 2024 - As Super Tuesday is just over a week away on March 5 , a recent poll released a surprising result as to which presidential candidates is rated the most favorable of among the 2024 crop of presidential candidates. Scoring over 50% Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tops that list.

Kennedy was found to have a favorable rating of 52% , followed by former President Donald Trump with 42%. President Joe Bide scores 41% following by former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley with 33%.

Despite the apparent good will that voters have towards him , Kennedy as an independent candidate continues to fight to get on the November ballot. Unlike  Biden and Trump who have the institutional support of their respective parties , Kennedy essentially has to build an organization from the ground up in order to gain ballot access in all 50 states. Time will only tell if he can be successful in that attempt.
