    A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump and Clinton tied at 38% each. But 16% say they would vote for some other candidate if the presidential election comes down to those two, while six percent (6%) would stay home. Only two percent (2%) are undecided given those options.

    rump is more toxic within his own party than Clinton is in hers. If Trump is the Republican nominee, 16% of GOP voters say they would choose a third-party candidate, while five percent (5%) would stay home. Sixty-six percent (66%) would vote for Trump, but 10% would vote for Clinton instead.

    If Clinton is the Democratic nominee, 11% of Democrats would vote third-party, while three percent (3%) would stay home. Seventy-five percent (75%) would support the nominee, but 11% say they would vote for Trump.

    Among voters not affiliated with either major party, nearly one-third say they would opt out: 21% would choose a candidate other than Trump or Clinton, and 10% would stay home. Trump leads Clinton 38% to 27% among unaffiliated voters.

    This will be the tiest election ever in terms of the choices available. Two horrible candidates - and an even worse one in Cruz waiting in the wings if Trump slips up. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a low turnout.

    Having said that, I don't believe there are enough stupid people to elect Trump. If I'm wrong, this will go down in history as the moment the idiots outnumbered the rational population - and the movie Idiocracy will need to be reclassified as a prescient do entary.

    If you were planning to vote and you stay home because you don't like either of the candidates for President of the United States, you're an idiot. There are dozens of state and local positions up for election and usually several Propositions to decide on. If you don't want to vote for President, skip that part of the ballot.

    It's not that simple. Some of us know Trump is a dangerous and possibly (perhaps even probably) a foolish choice; however, we are willing to risk it to send a message to the democratic party and to the "establishment" -- left-wing and right-wing.

    Plus, I think his foreign policy priorities and judgement are better than Hillary's. And that matters to me.

    The democratic party became a moderate party because it thought that that was the way to win elections... and it was right. But times have changed. The republican party has move to the right and dragged the democratic party with it. We have to reverse course. A loss with trigger some introspective thinking and perhaps some changes... we don't want a moderate democratic party.

    25 years now it has been a moderate party, and probably still needs to be one to win elections in this country.

    Not so sure....Bernie is no moderate, but his nomination was stumped more by closed primaries than by policy...

    Not only that. but if he tried to go independent now he would tear the democratic party apart and we would be looking at a Trump administration...so progressive democrats can either stay home or hold their noses and vote Hillary..

    I don't think a socialist can get elected president in this nation. As soon as barrages of tv ads start appearing with that word he's ed in a general election.

    A few days before the 2012 election, Rasmussen guaranteed a Bishop Gekko win in a blowout.

    Yeah I didn't see this show up on Realclear. They usually agregate all polls. Somehow this one's missing.

    Did they just phoned republicans or something?
