Legislation enacted by Congress has declined over the decades, with the number of laws unacted by the 112th and 113th Congresses at historic lows.

According to standards released to the media this summer, the CPD based its polling threshold on five "reliable" surveys, all backed by major media outlets. All five had included Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and Green nominee Jill Stein, and all found them falling far short of 15 percent. According to an average collected by RealClearPolitics, Johnson averaged 8.4 percent support in the basket of polls, while Stein averaged 3.2 percent. Johnson's strongest result — 13 percent support — came in a Quinnipiac poll that was not included in the average.

Manson didn't express any problem with the candidates' positions but expressed a general dislike of their personalities. "It just comes down to two things," he said. "Who has more charisma, and who are they appealing to. And neither one of them appeal to me."

“Remember it’s not about voting for the perfect candidate. There is no such person,” the hugely popular first lady said. “In this election it is about making a choice between two very different candidates with very different visions for our nation.

Clinton's team is especially wary of young voters flocking to third-party candidates — or not voting — as a way of expressing their displeasure with both her and Trump.
