Interesting prediction.
Have you ever been right about anything?

7.5% of the popular vote is the best prediction I know for Gary Johnson. The predictions are updated daily with each new popularity poll.

7.5 % is more than Ralph Nader's 2.74% in 2000 when Nader gave Bush the Presidency.

Nader’s candidacy was based on the self-serving argument that it would make no difference whether Gore or George W. Bush were elected. This was insane. Nobody, for instance, can imagine Gore picking as the nation's chief law enforcement officer a man of Ashcroft's anti-civil rights, antitrust, anti-abortion and anti-gay record. Or picking Bush's first choice to head the Labor Department, Linda Chavez, who opposes the minimum wage and affirmative action.

I look forward to Gary Johnson arguing it would make no difference whether Trump or Hillary were elected.

New poll has Hilliary leading Trump by 9% WITH 37% in Colorado and 5% with 39% in Virginia, and Johnson gets 13% in CO and 10% in VA. Hilliary's lead over Trump is about the same in as the results for Obama in 2008.

CO voted 23% for Perot in 1992.
Both VA and CO went to Obama by 51% in 2012, but Romney got over 46% both places - with no serious 3rd party.

Johnson is a liberal...and a pot head. The Libertarian Party is where conservatives went to get away from people like him. In 1972 many conservatives left the Republican Party and joined the Libertarian Party because they thought Nixon was too liberal, Nixon won in a land slide anyway. Libs like Johnson are going to take that party further to the left and ruin it.

Cruz beat Trump and Bernie beat Hilliary in Colorado.
Trump got one third of the VA delegates, and Hilliary beat Bernie in VA.

Johnson gains a couple percent in new polls, even though polls are excluding him.

I can hardly wait to see polling data following Hilliary's latest scandal with the Party of Racism, Anti-Semitism, and Intolerance (aka Democrats).

Johnson is favorite among Military with over 38%, beating Clinton and Trump.

ing-trump-clinton-among-active-duty-troops

And Johnson is at 26%, 3% behind Trump in Utah, trending towards winning Utah. Utah is worth 6 Electoral votes.
If Trump flips PA, OH, and FL his way, as recent polls have indicated, and all other states go the way of 2012 except Utah, then Johnson getting Utah would make it a Trump 267, Hilliary 265, Johnson 6 - and the Electoral College would not generate a winner. The Election would need to go to Congress to have the President elected by the House and the Veep elected by the Senate.

And wiki has some info, but a bit of scrolling down is required to find it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statewide_opinion_polling_for_the_United
_States_presidential_election,_2016

He is getting over 10% in several states, and over 15% in a few. The Utah 26% poll isn't even shown.
