Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that, according to the polls, he believes he could win the 2024 election, calling former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden the “weakest two candidates.”

RFK Jr. appeared on NewsNation’s show “Cuomo” to discuss how he has been mislabeled by the corporate media, as well as to talk about his confidence in his 2024 campaign. Host Chris Cuomo asked the presidential candidate what he would say to voters who believe that he won’t win based on the poll numbers.

“Well, my numbers now are, you know as you pointed out there, the most recent poll has me at 24 percent. That’s the New York Times Siena poll, which is the gold standard poll. So my momentum is building,” RFK Jr. stated.

“You know, there were two polls over the past three weeks that had me at 22 percent. This most recent one has me at 24. I’m beating President Biden and President Trump among young people — people under 45. I beat them both. I beat them by 10 points on average – people under 36. I’ve got — I’m beating them with Independent voters decisively. So I, you know, I’m in a better place now than any Independent candidate in history for 100 years. The last person who was in this strong a position was Teddy Roosevelt when he ran on the Bull Moose ticket.”

“I think we also have the weakest two candidates running for president that we’ve had in history … I don’t like to make predictions but if I had to bet money I would put the money on me and not on President Biden, President Trump,” he continued.

“What is a President Biden gonna do? He can’t debate me. He can’t have an unscripted conversation or encounter with voters. And he’s losing to President Trump right now by eight or nine points.”

Kennedy first launched a Democratic bid in April in order to beat Biden, notably calling out the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) rules for aiding Biden and denying primary debates. Kennedy eventually switched to running as an Independent candidate in early October. (RELATED: ‘People Are Upset’: Clinton Pollster Warns Biden That Surveys ‘Showing A Trend’ In Trump’s Favor)

While Trump has been leading Biden in six swing states, Kennedy is pulling more support from Trump in a hypothetical election matchup, according to The Hill. Within a three way race the Independent candidate is hitting 22 percent, leaving Biden with 39 percent, and Trump with 36 percent, according to the outlet.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
