Gary Johnson Polls: Libertarian Candidate Gains Ground Nationally In New Poll As One In Three Young Voters Choose Him Over Clinton And Trump
Posted by freedomforall 7 years, 8 months ago to Politics
"a recent Morning Consult poll showing that 52 percent of Americans want to see Johnson participate in the debate, while another poll carried out by Quinnipiac University showed that 62 percent of likely voters nationally wanted to see Johnson included in the debates."
Just wondering. who you are really for?
This is a shocking number. I'd like to know why it's higher among them than the rest of the population. The article points out that Clinton and Trump are both seen as pro-war, but these young people who are willing to support a third party could support Stein. Young people would stand to get more short-term benefit from education subsidies than other age groups, and they're less likely to pay income taxes.
Maybe they actually sense that having gov't involved in a third of the economy isn't a good idea? Might they actually weigh promises of handouts on one hand and their experience with gov't and the Founders' ideas on gov't on the other?
Two waiy
RCP Average 8/22 - 9/4 -- -- 46.1 42.1 Clinton +4.0
Four Way
RCP Average 8/22 - 9/1 -- -- 41.3 37.9 8.2 3.3 Clinton +3.4 This is one to watch.
Johnson showed as high as 12 in one poll the remainder stayed the same for the day. 7PM Mountain. The magic number remains at 15% of five specific polls
Commission on Presidential Debates announced in August the five nationwide polls that will be averaged to determine whether a candidate meets its threshold to be offered a seat on stage in the debates, the first of which is scheduled for September 26. The five polls the commission will average are ABC-Washington Post, CBS-New York Times, CNN-Opinion Research Corporation, Fox News and NBC-Wall Street Journal.
Gary Johnson now at 10%...the magic number to get in on the debates.
Clinton is 2% ahead of Trump in the four way which it still is 4% on head to head each is over four times as much as Candidate Three and Candidate Four has been dropped from many of the polls but was last seen at one percent
