I've seen quite different poll numbers [always biased and usually unreliable!] on the third parties, but I do NOT doubt that this 'race to the bottom' has led many to look elsewhere...and I think turnout will be light....plus the usual 'slight of hand' in manipulation of ballots in swing states will be BIG BUSINESS this time!
Trump seems to be doing better than anyone else in destroying his chances....but Clinton has some legal matters coming up and other scandals that could bubble to the surface.
For me, its Jill Stein and the Green Party - on principal and ethics.
