Attention lurking Stein Voters! A dead gorilla is up 3 pts over Jill.

PPP: Johnson 6%, Harambe the Gorilla 5%, Stein 2%

This bodes well for Harambe's third party run, but unfortunately he is no longer with us.

Harambe the gorilla would do well as presidential candidate: poll

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/harambe-gorilla-presidential-candidate-poll-article-1.2733080

Five percent of respondents said they would cast a ballot for President Harambe. Though not a major margin, 5% is greater than the support shown for Green Party candidate Jill Stein — who earned only 2% support in the poll. It nearly matches support for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, who has 6% support.

Especially if the campaign hired Koko the gorilla as his debate coach.

they are very happy with Jill and apparently believe every blatantly false internet meme they see about 'Evil Demoncrats' and 'Lucifer's Daughter HRC'

Fwiw, I'm actually very sensitive to not alienating persuadable voters and wrote a few posts along those lines in Primary Wars 2016. Most everybody ignored me but that happens a lot, lol.

They don't include Stein and Harambe together as options.

If the candidates for President were Democrat Hillary Clinton, Republican Donald Trump, and independent Harambe, who would you vote for?
Hillary Clinton.................................................. 48% Donald Trump ................................................. 43% Harambe......................................................... 5% Notsure.......................................................... 4%

It is quite possible that the voters who chose Harambe given those options (with Stein not included) are Stein voters.

Of course, the PPP Twitter feed is going with the spin:

PublicPolicyPolling ?@ppppolls 45m45 minutes ago
Support for President: Gary Johnson 6%, Harambe 5%, Jill Stein 2%

It does seem all about getting attention.

But PPP is being childish with this nonsense, in my opinion.

They also asked in the same poll if Hillary Clinton was affiliated with Lucifer.

So that was a good question, and I was curious to see the polling.

And that Alinsky was Hillary's role model.

Seems inane to put a question like that on a serious poll.

Though not as bad as the gorilla one.

The nominating convention is next weekend in Houston and she has an opponent - William Kreml.

The GP website is interesting, many of their candidates registered as Dems to be 'protest' votes in Democratic Primaries. Maybe they should spend less time lying about being Dems and more time organizing their own party.
