3 swing states where RFK Jr.'s plan to help Trump is in trouble

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : "With 63 days until Election Day, RCP's polling average as of Tuesday afternoon had Harris leading Trump, 48.1% to 46.2%, in a national head-to-head matchup.
62% : Trump is now hoping that Kennedy's seal of approval will strengthen his pitch to those voters.
50% : So with Kennedy still on the ballot in Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, Trump likely won't see the boost in support in those states that the newly formed Trump-Kennedy alliance had been hoping for.
44% : This significantly reduces the potential electoral boost Trump could get in these states from Kennedy's exit.
43% : This leaves just Arizona and Pennsylvania as the states where Kennedy's exit appears poised to help Trump outright.
41% : "He has a lot of votes that he could have gotten," Trump said of Kennedy at the Arizona rally in August.
32% : Kennedy's stumbles in Wisconsin, North Carolina and Michigan are especially significant because they are three of only five swing states where polling shows that Trump would do better in a head-to-head contest against Harris, without Kennedy.
22% : Kennedy, who spent most of his campaign fighting for ballot access, announced on Aug. 23 that he would reverse course and remove his name from swing state ballots where Trump stood to benefit from a head-to-head matchup with Vice President Kamala Harris.
15% : In the two remaining battleground states -- Nevada and Georgia -- polling shows Kennedy's withdrawal from the race may actually backfire on Trump, whose overall lead shrinks when the field goes from six candidates to just two.
