"Gary Johnson doesn't seem to be going anywhere. In recent elections, third-party candidates have tended to lose support as Election Day approaches. But the Libertarian Party presidential nominee and former New Mexico governor is holding steady in the polls, and we've reached a point in the race at which past third-party candidates had already started to see their support nose-dive.

Johnson is pulling in about 9 percent in the national polls, according to the FiveThirtyEight polls-only average. And his share in national polls has not fallen as we've gotten closer to the election. Indeed, Johnson's support right now is higher than many other viable third-party candidates' at a similar point in campaigns since 1948."

...

but

"not going up either. He's showing no signs of reaching 15 percent in national polls, the threshold necessary to get into the debates. Still, if he ends up with 7 percent of the vote - as we'd expect based upon history and the current polls - the Libertarian Party will qualify for federal campaign funding in 2020, and Johnson will claim the highest share of the vote of any non-major party nominee in 20 years."

This is an election year like no other. The Johnson will finish strong, but he won't outlast the woman, she'll keep coming.

It will never happen. Would I rather him than the others. YES. Will I vote for him? No. Why? Because it would be taking a vote away from Hillary, and I don't think he has a chance in Hell. So, it just increases Trump's chances of winning, and that ... not good.

Oh, and ... maybe, just maybe, if he takes a little blue pill he can keep rising
