Fox poll shows Biden up 1% over Trump, but tied if RFK Jr. is an option

President Joe Biden posted a narrow lead in a recent Fox News, edging out his likely 2024 Republican challenger by a single percentage point.

Biden took 49% support among registered voters to Trump's 48% in a one-on-one matchup, but that lead drops to zero should Robert F. Kennedy Jr. enter the mix. Kennedy initially challenged Biden for the Democratic nomination, but has since declared an independent run.

When asked to pick between the three of them, 16% backed Kennedy while 41% backed Trump and Biden each. Cornel West, another independent candidate, also managed to earned meaningful support, taking 9% of the vote in three-way race with Trump and Biden, who earned 45% and 43%, respectively.

Trump currently maintains an average 0.8% lead in the RealClearPolitics polling average, which features a head-to-head Trump-Biden matchup and includes the Fox News poll.

In the primary, Trump took 59% support among Republicans, leading Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who earned 13% support, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who took 10%, and tech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy, who earned 7%.

Conducted Oct. 6-9, the survey questioned 1,007 registered voters and has a margin of error of +/- 3%. The GOP primary data has a margin of error of +/- 4.5%.
