Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has had a bumpy summer of a different sort, with a cavalcade of controversy.

Still, his no-shot bid for the presidency could shift the race for the eventual winner.

Ruben Navarrette : RFK Jr.'s campaign is imploding, but he can still be an electoral problem for Trump .

He was polling nationally at nearly 20% last fall , according to RealClearPolitics.

Marquette Law School Poll shows Harris leading Trump 52% to 48% among registered voters and 53% to 47% among likely voters.

Poll: Even 1% can make a difference and push the election toward one of the major parties.

Kennedy 's campaign told me "he anticipated a challenge in Pennsylvania , the most highly contested swing state".
