I find it odd that there is this much digging into the data without any poll or analysis even considering the biggest third party winner of the 2020 election—Jo Jorgensen of the Libertarian Party—who may be running again in 2024. She or whoever runs for the Libertarian Party will surely take up a significant chunk of Trump voters, possibly up to 2 million nationwide.

This is a good point. Surely, there will be a Libertarian candidate, and definitely seems likely they would pull from Trump. And yes, odd but true that there's very little consideration for a Libertarian Party in these polls, so very hard to analyze. But my article was focused solely on RFK Jr. and if a LP cand. was on there. the results for RFK probably would have been the same, just DT totals would have been down maybe a point more lower.

Anyway, this potentially a good analysis to do in a future article. Trying to assess the effect of the LP would be interesting.
