Lincoln Chafee, a former governor and senator from Rhode Island, decided to end his campaign for the Democratic nomination for president today. Chafee’s campaign was quixotic and, well, funny from the start, but he seems like a decent-enough guy, so I wanted to give Chafee his polling due (and a fond farewell).

Here’s Chafee’s three-poll rolling average1 in live-interview national surveys this year:

1. Which leaves the following question:

Which of the other candidates are going to benefit by getting the one percent previously going for Chafee I'm on the edge of my chair waiting to see how that vote splits.

2. Maybe Lawrence Lessig will be in the next debate now. n/t

3. I am laughing too--but

whoever Chafee sides with will have a decent person of some visibility helping them---thank you for your response
