Oct 2016

Johnson supporters were roughly split evenly between Dems and Reps. Johnson just showed he is a know nothing candidate, this will not be seen as a negative to Republicans as their only other choice would be a know Nothing Trump. But Dem leaning Johnson supporters are abandoning him in droves, if he gets 5% now it wouldn't surprise me if 4% are would be Trump voters.

And Sanders campaigning is huge for Hillary.
