Kanye West’s First Presidential Polling Numbers Isn’t Quite Impressive

Kanye West Gets Only 2% Of Vote, Pulling More From Donald Trump Than Joe Biden

Kanye West made a surprise late hour announcement that he’ll be running for the Presidential seat of the United States, joining Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the race.

He initially got supports from his celebrities friends, but quickly lost couple of them after his controversial interview with Forbes.

His chances of winning became very slim following his anti-vaccination and anti-abortion stances, his weird stand on the three topics during his interview with Forbes made many retract their supports for him.
