    Voting open for a week. It'll be interesting to see how this might shift in time. My guess is that this poll skews more republican than national polls.

    EDIT: I should have added an option for undecided. Sorry.


    I suggest followup polls after each debate:
    Monday, September 26, 2016
    Sunday, October 9, 2016
    Wednesday, October 19, 2016

    and a last one a week before the election.

    As of today, if I vote, it'll be for Gary Johnson. I've long considered voting for Hillary as a protest to Trump, but I just can't.

    Nice poll. Way to leave out independent candidates.

    Bobby, I hate Trump probably just as much as you do, maybe more. You have to think of the ramifications of this election with the SCOTUS appointments. The new presidents gets one right out of the gate which could have major implications to decisions made in the future whether they actually interpret the laws as they stand as they are supposed to do or legislate from the bench. Trump did post his SCOTUS list which is the ONLY reason I will vote for him. If a liberal, legislate from the bench idiot is appointed, you can kiss this country goodbye!!!

    I am voting for $Hillary, and I would have voted for Bernie if he won. If Kaisch had won, I'd probably vote for him over the both.

    How do you feel about Obama's nomination Garland who has just forever waiting to become a Justice?

    This much I know. I will not vote for Trump, and I will not vote for Hillary. I despise both of them.

    Who's doing better among young people?

    Trying to figure out who has a bigger motive to suppress voter turnout. Traditionally it's been Republicans but with Trump vs Hillary I'm not so sure.

    Neither is doing well with young voters at the moment. If I had to GUESS, I'd say Trump is probably doing slightly better simply because so many young folks were Bernie supporters. Now with the betrayal they feel the Hillary controlled DNC has done to them, I feel most will stay home...many will go to the Green/Libertarian party...and a few will vote for Trump as a big middle finger to the DNC and Hillary.

    But...its July. That's a LONG time from November. As usual, the debates will be key.

    If it looks like it's pretty much 100% certain that Hillary is going to win, then I'll probably just vote for third party. Don't really want to give her a bump if I don't have to.

    If it looks like it will be close, then I'll have no choice but to vote for her...gross. Thanks a lot GOP...look at what you're making me do.

    I live in Texas, so my vote won't really matter, but IMO Trump is worse than Hillary. I can't trust that his SCOTUS appointments would be any better than hers no matter what he says now. I just can't vote for him, or anyone on the ballot running for any office that supports him.

    If the Dems get the Senate and Reps the White House I hope the senate refuses to give Trump's selection a vote and wait until the next president.

    Wouldn't be surprising really, Democrats are notorious for their obstructionism when they are the minority party....then they complain about the Republicans doing the same back when they are the majority party.

    I highly doubt it. I think it will be a lot less Republican and a lot more Independent.

    General Joseph Dunford isn't an option, unfortunately. While he isn't running for the office, he'd be most likely to be in charge of the junta that would secure the country in the event of a coup.

    Quite the opposite. This board strongly leans left. Internet polls are not a good measure. Groups tend to cluster to their like minded sites.
