Because the House must choose from among the three leading candidates, President Gary Johnson would emerge as the only possible compromise. Whether he secures an invitation will have a significant impact on the fate of his party.

Will Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have some extra competition? Another 47% said Stein should be included in the first debate on September 26. That likely means the polls that will decide Johnson’s fate are already in the field.
Fair-goers at the Iowa State Fair who cast their kernel at the WHO-HD stand practically begged for a third-party candidate to vote for. Green Party nominee Jill Stein is on the ballot in about half.
Only Fox News has published numbers recently.
The editorial board said.”there’s no doubt that Johnson belongs in the major leagues, and on the debate stage this fall”. The other four pollsters were in the field at the end of July and in early August. Somewhere north of 1,800 of them never really did anything about it, a number that’s hard to pin down in part because it requires evaluating the seriousness of people like Jim Gilmore. He now has 12 percent of national vote, gaining from the roughly 10 percent most polls showed him at the beginning of the last month. “I’ve thought about Johnson, but I haven’t begun reading up on him”. She has taken no money from PAC contributions according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
That is why the next few weeks will be critical for Johnson. Does Johnson have a chance to win this election?

Instead of protesting, they are trying to focus in more on green spaces, Dale Haagen, Green Party state committee delegate said. Johnson has previously conceded that the future of his campaign depends on whether or not he can make the presidential debate stage, having said that it would be “game over” against Clinton and Trump if he fails to make it. This year’s election has been thus far unprecedented in numerous ways, and a good showing by Johnson would only add to that. Negatives like those make one wonder if Americans would consider supporting an alternative candidate.
But if he doesn’t get into the debates and his support drops, it’s unclear whether he will bleed more votes to Trump or to Clinton.
There are a lot of caveats here, including that third-party candidates tend to poll higher during the summer than the final results bear out.
Johnson’s clear and consistent support for limited government, free enterprise, social tolerance and individual freedom appeals to our own philosophical leanings. Her vote share drops from 48 percent in a two-way contest to 41 percent in a four-way ballot test – a 7-point falloff.
