  Here's the latest Rasmussen Report done with Badnarik in it. Very interesting results; although not surprising to me. --- Report --- RasmussenReports.com Monday July 26, 2004--Sixty-eight percent (68%) of American adults believe that Libertarian Party candidate Michael Badnarik should be invited to participate in the Presidential Debates this year. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 20% believe Badnarik should not be invited while 12% are not sure.
The Libertarian Party candidate has been on the ballot in all 50 states for each of the past three elections and Badnarik is expected to be on every state ballot this November. When voters were asked to choose between President George W. Bush, Senator John Kerry, and Badnarik, 46% said they would vote for the Democrat, 43% for the Republican, and 3% for Badnarik. However, 29% of voters said there are circumstances under which they would consider voting for Badnarik. That includes 25% of Bush voters and 30% of Kerry voters. When voters are informed that Badnarik opposes both the War in Iraq and the Drug War, 34% say they would consider Badnarik.
That figure includes just 11% of Bush voters and 50% of Kerry voters. The survey also found that 10% of Americans identify their political ideology as libertarian rather than conservative or liberal. Sixty-two percent (62%) share the Libertarian view that tax dollars should not be spent to support the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. The national telephone survey of 1,000 Adults was commissioned by the Badnarik for President campaign and conducted by Rasmussen Reports July 21, 2004. Margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
