Kanye West, an American rapper-turn-politician, has grabbed
just two percent of votes when included in one of the first national polls to
be taken since he announced his presidential bid.
In April, the showbusiness mogul had endorsed Donald Trump
for re-election, crediting the president for a real estate boom in comparison
with Barrack Obama.
On July 5, the ‘Jesus is King’ crooner, however, left many
startled when he announced that he will be running for the oval office in
November — not in 2024 as earlier stated but in 2020 — a decision that was
backed by Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla.
Redfield & Wilton Strategies, a British consulting firm
that does polling and market research, released results from a poll it did last
week, with Kanye included as one of the candidates.
The rapper clocked in at two percent out of the 2,000 people
polled, alongside other third-party candidates from the Libertarian and Green
Parties, who similarly hit a low of two and one percent respectively.

According to the R&WS, the sitting president got hit,
going from 40 to 39 percent when Kanye was factored into the race. But Biden stayed
firmly in the lead in either scenario, sitting at 48 percent.
