Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump narrowed slightly in the latest IBD/TIPP Poll, which finds her ahead of Trump by 45% to 40%. Last month, Clinton was head ahead 47% to 40%. But the poll finds widespread dissatisfaction with the two presumptive nominees.

Who here thinks that 11% of the electorate will throw away their votes?

Next poll will show Trump losing ground due to the LaRaza lawyer remarks.

I don’t believe it. The libertarian pres candidate usually ends up with about 1% of the vote. I expect it will be similar this election. I sure don’t hear any excitement about Gary Johnson and him being the alternative people were waiting for........

Trump is on the move and picking up two percentage points per month!

At this rate, Trump will be at 50.01% by the November election.

Anyone that thinks Gary Johnson will get 2% on Election Day is beyond delusional.

This poll is garbage.

There is no way that 11% of the respondents even know who Johnson is.

Fail.

Ross Perot had to dominate the news cycle for weeks on end to reach double-digits as a third-party candidate.

Most voters think Gary Johnson is the guy who played the Professor on Gilligan’s Island.

Not buying it.

I agree, but I don’t believe Clinton has anywhere near 45% of the vote. Maybe with “adults” but not with “likely voters.”

Johnson got .99% of the vote in 2012. It’s highly dubious he’d get much beyond that.

What’s important is to look at the trend. Trump is closing the gap. He gets the independent vote by 41%-35%. There is no blowout margin for Hillary.

40-45% is the bedrock Dem Presidential vote, same with the GOP.

You both hope. But I have a feeling you will be wrong.

“The libertarian pres candidate usually ends up with about 1% of the vote.”

Did anyone see the clip of the Libertarian convention, at which one of the candidates for Party Chairman did a striptease? Yep, a hugely fat, hairy, tattooed guy danced around, then stripped down to his corpulent flesh. Headline on Yahoo afterwards: “Libertarians fear striptease hurts party's credibility”. Hmmm...you think?

Willard the Ringer beat Zero with Independents in 2012, so that only goes so far.

And his running mate Weld sounds like Wells, so Johnson/Wells 2016, "And the rest" no more!
