A new poll finds Gary Johnson recording his highest numbers yet

A new poll finds Gary Johnson recording his highest numbers yet

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson has recorded his most support among registered voters in recent memory and could land a spot on the debate stages this fall, a new poll finds.

A national Morning Consult survey conducted July 8-10 has Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton narrowly leading her Republican counterpart Donald Trump 39 percent to 37 percent, within the survey’s margin of error of 2 percent.

Johnson, meanwhile, receives 12 percent, up from 10 percent in mid-June. Thirteen percent don’t know or have no opinion.

Without Johnson in the mix, Clinton leads Trump 42 percent to 41 percent, while 18 percent don’t know or have no opinion.

Morning Consult polled 2,001 voters.

If Johnson continues on this trajectory, he could be on the presidential debate stages alongside Clinton and Trump.
