If Jill Stein dropped out, would Clinton be a sure winner?

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

Self-explanatory. Given that Stein is pulling so much more from Clinton than Trump, would her dropping out give Clinton a sure shot? Or would her supporters defect or not vote?

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Uh, no. Stein is getting about 3% of the vote. Half of that would stay home, others might throw up their hands and defect to Johnson or even Trump. Hillary would gain about 1%. Basically worthless unless it was concentrated in a decisive state.

[Eraserhead]

Nope. She's only going to get 1-2% of the vote at the end of the day and realistically most of it will probably come from people who would have voted for some other left-wing third party, wrote someone in or not voted at all if she wasn't on the ballot.

[AGA]

No. Jill Stein has so few supporters, and many of them probably would not vote for Clinton anyway. It could make the difference in some close states, but it is not enough to guarantee a Clinton win.

[Buffalo Bill]

I love how liberals wanted Gary Johnson to run in order to hinder Trump but Johnson is hurting Clinton more than Trump slightly.

[Trapsy]

It's not Stein that is taking support from Jill but Johnson.

[SWE]

It would have no impact whatsoever

[Lincoln Republican]

No, not at all.

[Averroës Nix]

If I couldn't cast a vote to protest how awful the major party nominees are, I wouldn't be voting. If it were not Stein, it'd be Johnson, or McMullin, or whatever left-wing random was on the ballot. If it wasn't any of them, it'd be a write-in or none-of-the-above.

All of that's irrelevant, though, because Stein's vote share in almost all polls isn't enough to cover the Trump-Clinton margin unless you assume that >80% of Stein voters would otherwise support Clinton, which is extremely implausible.

Voted yes, but she won't be a sure winner. It will though increase her chances considerably. +1% is important.

[angus]

No.
