To read the comments.

Unless one is looking for a reason to blame liberals/leftists, one might find these statistics unremarkable. Johnson voters were many times the number of Stein voters and a lot of Libertarians are pleased as punch with Trump so the ONLY thing notable about 55% of Third Party voters giving Trump a favorable rating is that it seems to indicate that not only do ZERO ZIP NADA radical leftists give Trump a favorable rating, but a sizable number of people on his side don't support him either.

I have a feeling though that we will see more than a post or two falling for this Politico/Trump attempt to divide and use the story to attack "the left."
