Gary Johnson What % will Gary Johnson get nationally

[misean]

Regrettably he isn't going to do well. I'm going guess 1 percent of slightly less. I think he does better than Bob Barr.

CNN poll in Ohio with Johnson included had him at 5%

The Libertarian Party peaked over three decades ago in 1980 with 1.1% of the national vote. So, probably somewhere in the 0.4%-0.8% range.

 

[cnaw]

He'll get 4.9% just so TPTB can thumb their noses at us.

Yeah, I hope Johnson gets 4.9%... that way all the people who went back to being apathetic feel like shit.

its this attitude i was hoping my friends in liberty would have helped me dispel.
now everytime someone who dissed GJ during this election ask for my help in the future- i will be thinking of this...

Probably <1%. Any uptick from more liberty leaning people will probably be counterbalanced by people writing in Ron Paul and others like myself who won't vote for GJ because he isn't a pure libertarian.

There is one issue I don't compromise on ever, and that is abortion. If Gary was pro-life he would have my vote, since he isn't and the Constitution party is not on my ballot then Ron Paul has my vote. The best vote I will ever probably ever make in a presidential election.

 

[Keith and stuff]

Shoot, my Mom, Stepdad, girlfriend and me are all voting GJ. So I sure hope he gets 5% Im guessing 2-3% though.

Wow. That is super optimistic! Why do you think he will do so amazingly well compared to the past LP candidates? What is so special about him? Certainly it isn't his ability to speak well or raise money.

Around 1% would be amazing for a LP candidate. If he did that well, he should write 4 or 5 books explaining how he elevated the LP so much in such a short time.

 

[jkob]

I'm guessing 1% to 1.9% which would be a tremendous result. I think he'll break 5% in a couple states.

[James Otis Jr.]

After Dixville Notch and Hart's Location he's 2/44 votes, so he's currently at 4.5%.

I'm predicting 0.9% of the vote and 1.2 Million total votes which I believe would be the record for an LP presidential candidate vote total.

 

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

Voted 5pc. I think he will do better than that.

While I don't have much faith in the average American voter, I do know that a lot of average American voters have become attuned to the smell of bullshit. There is no political difference between the Republican and Democratic nominee. On that basis alone, despite not knowing who Johnson is or what he stands for, there will be quite a chorus of people saying "FUCK IT" out loud, then voting Johnson.
