I am curious now that the Democratic primaries are wrapped up what will be the circumstances for third party and independent candidates to be featured on national and state polls. Do you guys think we’ll see an uptick of polling this year in that line? Perhaps instead it will be as scarce as last cycle, if at all the pollsters don’t lump them within the other category.

Hopefully never.  Every four years we get forced to play this game where we pretend third parties are relevant or interesting.  At the end of the day all they end up doing is screwing the Democrats and wasting everyone's time.

Hawkins MIGHT get 1-2% in a national poll in the next month and maybe once again in September.

Hopefully Coronavirus keeps them from gaining any relevance. This is either going to be won by Trump or Biden. We don’t have time for people who don’t believe in vaccines or know what Aleppo is acting as vote receptacles for people who want to self righteous and indignant.

This. The relatively few true 'Bust'-ers will support him out of spite.
