It’s been a little over half a year since RFK Jr. was confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services and his tenure thus far has been chaotic, to put it mildly. Listing all of the variou…
Hmm that suggests the remaining ~10% must be from non-Republicans which is really depressing. I suppose he might have fans in the anti-vaxx movement still and a certain percentage of those are non-Republicans so maybe that explains it.
Edit: Just did some napkin math and it comes out to ~12% of non-Republicans approving of him.
It’s probably the “alternative medicine, don’t trust doctors” crowd, which traditionally wasn’t a particularly right-wing thing but then merged with the right around the pandemic/QAnon time. Some of them must have been left behind.
Edit: here, I’ll walk you through the math. The article says 70% of Republicans approved of him and 33% of everyone approved of him. Republicans make up ~30% of the population. 70% of 30% is 21%. That leaves 12% unaccounted for (33-21). So 12% out of everyone both approves of him and doesn’t identify as a Republican, while 21% out of everyone both approves of him and identifies as Republican. The remaining 67% of everyone doesn’t approve of him whether or not they identify as a Republican.

You can’t just add up D and Rs and expect to get total population…
A bunch of Americans still don’t identify as either.
That’s why I specifically said non-Republicans.
