nationwide he got 3.08 times the votes that Stein did.

Likewise, very similar ratios in all 3 of the most critical states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin)

I can't draw a pie chart, so will try a bar chart. The bar below represents the third party voters. The magenta "J" part represents those who voted for Johnson. The green "S" represents those who voted for ~~Swein~~Stein:
