Presidential Election Polls 2016 – UPDATED: It's Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton While Gary Johnson and Jill Stein Still At It
The latest Quinnipiac Poll showed that Americans are voting against, rather than for, a candidate. In the Sept. 14 poll, researchers found that Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump 48 to 43. Recent polls also show that people are likely to vote for third party candidates. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has a 13 percent chance of winning the voter race while Green Party candidate Jill Stein had a 4 percent chance of being voted for president.
While Clinton is dubbed the most likely next president of the U.S., recent poll numbers mean that Trump can win the seat as well. And if people are so reluctant to vote for both leading parties, could the U.S. really see a third party candidate winning a spot in the oval office? While it is highly unlikely, some Americans will check the box for either Johnson or Stein on Tuesday Nov. 8.

With close numbers in recent polling, Clinton may rely on Pennsylvania to give her a bigger shot at presidency.
“Pennsylvania has been the most likely tipping-point state since midsummer,” Economist David Rothschild told The New York Times. “It has been the state to put Hilary Clinton over 270 electoral votes, should she win all of the other more likely states for her. Conversely, it’s also the state that would put Trump over the hump, if he wins all the states that are more likely for him.”
The first presidential debate should put a new perspective on presidential candidates for undecided voters.
