A new poll suggests that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is drawing more voters from former President Donald Trump than from Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to a Noble Predictive Insights survey released last week, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in a hypothetical three-way race. With Stein on the ballot, Harris' lead expands, pointing to a potential spoiler effect similar to what many Democrats blamed Stein for doing to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

For Trump, the emergence of Stein as a potential spoiler may be a critical factor in battleground states, where even a small shift in votes could determine the outcome. For Harris, Stein's candidacy could paradoxically provide an unexpected advantage, drawing votes from Trump and narrowing his pathway to victory.

Ranks 60 out 284 in Five Thirty-Eight's rankings. Not bad.

Jill Stein releases a statement: "To be clear, I only want Kamala votes please! Only former Kamala voters!"

What about four-way race? Some states still have RFK on the ballot 🥴

In Illinois, we had RFK and no Jilly-bean.
