Nationally, 16 Percent Have Favorable Opinion of Libertarian Candidate Gary Johnson
Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson is on the ballot in all 50 states but is largely unknown to the nation’s voters.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 16 percent of Likely U.S. Voters have a favorable opinion of Johnson, while 20 percent offer an unfavorable view. Only one-out-of-10 has a strong opinion of him: Two percent (2 percent) have a Very Favorable view of Johnson, while eight percent (8 percent) have a Very Unfavorable one. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted Aug. 22-23 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research LLC. See methodology.

I sent a message to Janet Brown at jb@debates.org She is in charge of the Commission of Presidential Debates. Ms. Brown needs to know that we believe all candidates with their names on enough ballots to potentially win the election (there are FOUR this year, not TWO) should be represented in the debates that help the people of this country decide who deserves their votes!
We deride other countries when we see inequalities in their elections; why do we not see the inequalities in our own? If you care, write to Ms. Brown to let her know how you feel...I will be boycotting the debates unless they are all up there. The Democrats and Republicans will have ZERO chance to influence me through this medium if it's not a fair process.
