Reuters is changing its poll methodology to remove the word "Neither" from its list of choices.

Instead of "Neither/Other" it will offer "Other" in order to bring its poll results closer in line with other polls. It appears that inclusion of the word "neither" was garnering 3% of the vote. That seems significant, in view of the fact that both the Green and the Libertarian parties would like to participate in the televised debates and need a certain number of poll points to get there.
Or the word "neither" could just express the general level of disgust with the whole thing, although an informal poll (conducted by me of certain people I know) indicates that about 50% of them are willing to express a general level of disgust with the whole thing.
