A simple poll

Honestly, I guess I could have just left it off.

Not trying to derail, but that's been part of the problem that advances the two party system. 

For decades people only had two parties. They actually had more, but everyone told them they only had two parties so they believed it. And now there's the stigma that voting for anything else is a wasted vote.

At this point in your pole, it's 3 for Trump, 8 for Clinton and 6 for other. If half of those "other" are voting for one candidate, then that's as many as one of the main party candidates. Which is where things are heading. The Repubs and Dems are made up of smaller groups that came together over time to further their beliefs. But there's more and more dissatisfaction growing within each party, leading to more and more third parties.
