- Apparently the people are looking for another option in a presidential candidate.
- It’s either going to come down to Clinton or Trump as the president in November, both candidates have high unfavorable ratings – 56% for Clinton and 55% for Trump.
- 55% of voters are interested in seeing an independent candidate challenge Hillary and Trump for the presidency.
- If an independent candidate started running now they would start off with already 21% of the vote.
Either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is likely to be elected president in November, but voters are yearning for another option.
A Clinton presidency is “the most likely scenario,” given the real estate mogul’s problems in key demographics and battleground states, according to the results of a Data Targeting poll released Wednesday.
Both candidates, however, have high unfavorability ratings — 56 percent for Clinton and 55 percent for Trump, and nearly six in 10 voters surveyed are dissatisfied with the option of choosing between just Clinton and Trump in November.
Fifty-five percent favor having an independent candidate challenge the Democratic front-runner and presumptive Republican nominee for president. An unprecedented 91 percent of voters 28 or younger favor having an independent on the ballot and 65 percent of respondents are willing to support a candidate who isn’t Clinton or Trump.
According to Data Targeting’s ballot test, an independent candidate would start off with 21 percent of the vote.
The survey of 997 respondents was conducted May 12-15 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

What you don’t take into account that the “experts” were laughing at Ventura prior to his election. If it is between Trump and Hilterly Trump will win. Voter’s who want a chance to vote for something different than treason party candidate a or b will vote for Trump
There is no question Trump is the best candidate. The 18to25 year olds are green behind the ears they are drinking cool aid and will not wake up for another 5 years when they realize they have been snookered.
I don’t believe the poll. Hillary should go to jail and Trump should be president.
As far as I Know Trump hasn’t Killed Anyone ?
They can’t say he’s a Pathological Liar like the Benghazi Bitch !
We have become a nation of Eloi and Morlock.
Both armed and waiting for a trigger event. I doubt a third party would be successful. The Libertarians are the only compromise. They van’t get it together by November.
We never heard that before .why you change our mind .WE never change our mind at last minute
The American people deserve leaders who are decent and honest.
Hillary and Bill are an abomination and Trump is a nut case!
No the people have spoken all right and they chose Trump. He’s not perfect, no he’s not near perfect but he is a better candidate than we have had in a long time. Hillary will destroy this country. The establishment freaking RINOs are no better than Hillary, and they are most of them lazy good for nothings. We may as well have one party if we keep going like we have been.. Go Trump!!!
RINOS Get out!!!
A third party will break up Republican Party and turn election over to Hillary. Are I crazy? The Democratic Party is new. I was once a democrat before it became the communist/socialist party with everyone working to satisfy Washington rulers. They ignore The People and exclude themselves from the terrible laws they pass. Ridiculous!
