If the choices for President were Democrat Hillary Clinton, Republican Donald Trump, and a Giant Meteor hitting the earth which would you choose?

Hillary Clinton: 43%
Donald Trump: 38%
Giant Meteor hitting the earth: 13%

but gary johnson and JILL STEIN are making real traction and now we'll have a 4 PARTY SYSTEM.

lol, yeah. Johnson or Stein don't get significantly more support than Deez Nuts or any other joke candidate PPP puts in as a third option. Most "support" for them is just a generic "other" option. Which is exactly why their support will collapse by election day. Many people "supporting them" will simply stay home, skip the presidential ballot, or hold their nose and vote for who they think is the lesser of two evils.

I saw it mentioned yesterday: in October 2012 PPP decided to include Johnson and Stein in their Ohio poll. Johnson got 5% and Stein 1%.
On election day the results were Johnson  0,89% and Stein 0,33%.

The difference is that support for Perot was support for Perot. Most Johnson "support" is just as a generic "other" option.

Also Perot spent a boatload of his own money to support his candidacy.
Johnson won't have anywhere near that kind of resources.
