On November 3, a CNN/Orc poll for the Ohio presidential race was released. It mentions five presidential candidates and has these results: Obama 47%, Romney 44%, Johnson 5%, Stein 1%, Goode under one-half of 1%, other or undecided or refused, 3%. See this CNN story; the figures for the five candidates are toward the end of the story.

We are busting our humps here in Ohio and with the LP.
Over 1,500 people saw him yesterday in Ohio rallies. 725+ at one event in Streetsboro, Ohio. Place was rocking with noise and applause. Glad we spent 5 years building an infrastructure of the LPO.
Of course the $64,000 question is how many votes will the legacy parties steal from the real parties on election day.
Best wishes to you Kevin. Those poll results are encouraging. Your efforts are commendable.
We Ask America is doing state polls with a “third party” option. http://weaskamerica.com/category/public-poll/
Richard, Feb. 2012 issue did not list Ohio reg voters. i cannot tell if polls are overstating D.
Gee – Will Johnson the utopian libertarian LOVE electing Obama a leftwing super statist ???
Is there a club for MORONS — Nader 2000, Johnson 2012 ???

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
#5, Ohio voter registration forms don’t ask voters to choose a party on that form.
@ # 6 And the GOP is Not Statist? That’s a laugh. Patriot Act, Wars, and in Ohio relentless challenges to voter freedom and that of alternative parties. There is a first amendment for a reason. You should read up on it.
@6 If there is a club for MORONS you should be the president. Obama and Romney are both equally bad, one claims to be a little bit better on some issues, the other claims to be a little bit better on others but both lie all the time. Left wing or right wing it’s all the same bird of prey. Two puppets of the same puppet masters.
As long as people keep voting for one or the other out of fear of what the other one will do they keep taking us down the wrong road.
Johnson is very wise to give us another alternative.
Johnson earns about equally votes that may have otherwise been wasted on Romney and votes that may otherwise have been wasted on Obama, but more importantly he gives people a reason to vote who would otherwise never have one with Obama and Romney (or is that Omni and Robomba)?
In no way does he swing the election to either Romney or Obama – not that it would matter even slightly if he did. Now that you know better than that ignorant nonsense you repeated above, tell other people.
Our NEW support in Ohio is coming from three areas: Former GOP voters, former DEM voters, and the majority from people that had given UP and quit voting. We offer another brand of choice.
Kevin, great job! Something has certainly gotten the notice of the Johnson traders on Intrade. I calculate that the composite estimate of his expected national vote percentage on Tuesday, based upon the 0.5% and 1.0% trades, has really jumped in the past couple of days. After slowly declining from 0.82% to 0.78% over the past week or so, it has exploded to 0.89% today!
If these numbers hold up then the LP will qualify in 2016 for federal funding. In West Virginia the question is will third party candidates get elected or will the Democrats have total control in 2013.
Thank. Richard,
