I'd say that about ninety some odd percent of the voters (not counting a few hundred Gore supporters who are too dumb too vote a ballot) did not agree with Pat Buchanan, otherwise, he'd be president. Or at least nominated by the Republican Party. These are the only polls that matter.

Doesn't mean that the voters disagreed with Buchanan. It simply meant that they chose not to 'waste their vote', and help Al Gore. A better picture of Buchanan's support can be seen in his primary runs in 92 and 96. His support is not negligible. Traditional conservatism as espoused by Buchanan will be around long after the Frums of this world have gravitated back to their natural habitat, the Trotskyite Left.
