That's what I'm hoping for: native sons McMullin and Johnson pick off the 11 EV's in their home state, Trump makes just enough of a comeback to split the rest with Clinton and the election goes to the House.

That just gives it to Trump, as the GOP members will vote for their own candidate.

"The poll boosts Johnson's argument that he his campaign has achieved the necessary 15% threshold necessary to take part in the two two remaining presidential debates."

He his campaign has achieved the necessary 15% threshold necessary to take part in the two two what???

Only about four mistakes I can find in that sentence.

I wouldn't be so sure.  Trump is very unpopular with Congress.  Depending on who has the most electoral votes they just may give it to McMullin or Johnson.

My guess it will go it McMullin if it comes down between those two candidates.

   You people are underestimating Hillary, again.

   She'll get 300+ EV's, the House will do nothing but cry, as usual.

   Trump has managed to pi$$ off both the Cubans and the Hispanics, (not to mention the women), no way he wins Florida.

Yup, Clinton won this race back in June.

NM is too divided on party lines and I highly doubt this, I don't think GJ gets more than 15%, even 20% wouldn't win it.

Johnson's also a native son who governed the state (to mostly positive reviews) and has the name recognition there. It's his best chance at winning a state now that McMullin has pretty much cornered Utah.

@libertybele

Not a chance they are going to give it to an outsider. They would call for a special election before they would do that.

Wrong.

New Mexico is now a "white minority" state that has been tipping ever-leftward for several election cycles.

I would have expected it to "go blue" November 8, with clinton winning.
I believe Trump's pathway to victory didn't include it (would be a welcome win, of course, but not part of the plan).

If Johnson wins it, it hurts clinton -- and HELPS Trump.

     And right next door, Arizona was never suppose to be in Play, of course nor was Georgia or Texas, those 3 states HELP Clinton, not Trump.

No way enough electors would be unfaithful and vote for him or Pence.

Could be the case, but it would be fun to watch.
At this point, I'm in favor of anything that keeps Clinton out.
