"Nearly one-in-four voters say they will stay home or vote third party if Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the major party presidential candidates.

I imagine most of these would stay home no matter who the candidates are.

[silverleaf]

whoo Hoo!

That leaves 76%, mostly in the middle

Guess who’s got the middle fired up and in his pocket?

[nascarnation]

It would be great if we could somehow get Burney to take the Green Party nomination. But I think he’d be a target for Arkancide, probably a sudden heart attack or stroke.

[GonzoII]

With a record Republican turnout and low Dem enthusiasm this year I think this bodes well for Trump, he can pick up the slack.

[Rusty0604]

A lot of Sanders folks say they will never vote for Hillary.

[freeangel]

No surprise, here

[blackdog]

Just the right numbers to sell as much media access at a premium as possible. Isn’t this country so predictable? That is ecactly what Trump means when he says we need to become more unpredictable and spontaneous based on core principles as boundaries.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Good. The more RATS and GOPe’s that stay home, the better.

[Solson]

I see it this way - demotivated voters, especially women and minorities and youth, assuming they stay home and whine once Sanders is gone, is good for the GOP and Trump.

Trumps supporters are highly motivated and he is doing exceptionally well at GOTV. Coupled with crossovers from blue collar Dems, this is setting up to be really nice win by Trump.

Once he unleashes hell on Hillary, his support will continue to climb.

[Grampa Dave]

Good news for Trump’s highly motivate voters!

[dowcaet]

So I guess the Uniparty already has a third party candidate picked out and ready to go. My only question is can they get on all fifty state ballots at this late stage? This seems to be the last realistic option to derail Trump by taking enough votes from him to ensure Hillary’s victory. I don’t think the GOPe will go the contested convention route and risk an up and down ballot wipeout of the party with the possibility of losing control of Congress.

[McCarthysGhost]

Hill’s 38% support is low for a DEM and spells disaster.

[jmaroneps37]

I don’t believe that many on Republican side. I would believe this could happen if Trump has the nomination stolen from him; but since that is not going to happen this is a nothingburger. There is just nowhere near the enthusiasm for Cruz or Kasich and way too much hunger to stop Hillary Clinton for that number of Republicans to stay home. On the Democrat side I can easily see some staying home because they are emotionally wedded to sanders and don’t like Clinton. The 38/38 is probably the most plausible lie they could tell. Rasmussen is long gone and it is owned by new people.

Nothing to see here more along folks.

[Wilderness Conservative]

The question is how many GOPe-rs will vote for Hillary and how many #neverhillary-ers will vote for Trump. I know a Bern-er who said she will vote for Trump to spite Hillary.

[going hot]

Ha,

My staying home and not voting is more important than your staying home and not voting.

Is not

Is so

[Flintlock]

Wow!!
Seventy-five or six percent voting would be yuuuuuge!

[Arm_Bears]

The same outfit that predicted a Romney victory in 2012.

[xzins]

I don’t believe them.

They’ll see they are losing and they’ll switch to one of the 2 major party candidates by the end.

[Yashcheritsiy]

So what?

Frankly, we need fewer low information, low-IQ voters voting anywise.
