From the NYT:
"Ms.
Harris was at 44 percent and Mr. Trump at 43 percent (Ms. Harris’s lead rounds to zero using the exact figures, 43.5 to 43.2), with Mr. Kennedy at 5 percent. That’s Mr. Kennedy’s lowest tally since we began naming him in our polls.
Mr. Trump led in the two-way race — but not the multicandidate race — because he won Mr. Kennedy’s sliver of support by more than a two-to-one margin. It’s a small sample, but it is Mr. Trump’s largest advantage among Kennedy supporters in our polling to this point.
It’s just one poll, but there’s something to the idea that Mr. Kennedy’s presence in the race might more clearly help Ms. Harris. Throughout the race, Mr. Kennedy’s candidacy has tended to appeal more to the right than the left. In this poll, for instance, Mr. Kennedy’s favorable rating is positive among Republicans but negative among Democrats. Even so, he had been drawing relatively evenly from President Biden and Mr. Trump, as he managed to win a considerable number of the disproportionately young voters disaffected with Mr.
Biden."
From iSideWith:
Kennedy is down 5% since the weekend:

Harris stronger than Biden, she has revived the Democratic base, she has good vibes and good fundraising, but everyone needs to be realistic that she's still down in the polls and needs the leash to run a campaign aimed at persuading the center.
@StressedS0v3reignGreen2yrs2Y
This is also her honeymoon period with the press and Democrats.
Historically, the more voters are exposed to Harris, the less they like her. This could very well be a high-water marks
@MerePopulistDemocrat2yrs2Y
Kamala Harris has the potential to win big and yes that requires her to appeal to the moderates. I don’t see why she wouldn’t

What happened to support for RFK?
@lemans34272yrs2Y
Supporters didn't like Biden or Trump, they like Kamala.
@FinickyH0u5eDemocrat2yrs2Y
Theme in other early polls too: Both candidates hitting by far their best favorability. This makes lots of sense given the last three weeks of news, which is why we need time to see if it wears off.
