Third-Party Challenges for Paul, Trump, Bloomberg
EmailAnyone for a third party?
No, not on top of Christmas and New Year’s. A third-party candidacy for president — and this one comes with a warning: It won’t be easy, at least not for three top-mentioned possibilities, Ron Paul, Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that each would have significant challenges were he to undertake the task of mounting a third-party candidacy. Among them:
Americans divide evenly in basic favorable versus unfavorable views of Paul, unchanged from last month, and Paul faces serious questions even in his own party both on his personal qualifications and the policies he’d pursue if elected
Trump, while more popular than Paul among Republicans, and the best known of the three, is the least popular overall. More Americans view him unfavorably than favorably, by 48 percent to 40 percent — never a good position for a public figure.
Bloomberg is much less known — 44 percent of Americans haven’t formed an opinion of him — and, like Paul, gets just an even split among those who have. He’s most popular among liberal Democrats, a group that comprises only 12 percent of the public overall.
That’s not to say third-party candidates can’t cause mayhem. In an ABC/Post poll released earlier this week, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama were dead even among registered voters, 47-47 percent. But when Paul was added as a theoretical independent candidate, he pulled 21 percent support, mainly out of Romney’s hide, putting Obama 10 points ahead.
Third-party candidacies often arise in times of economic discontent, and that certainly applies to current times. In an expression of discontent with the major parties, more Americans have identified themselves as independents than as either Democrats or Republicans for nearly two and a half years – the longest run of its kind since ABC/Post polling started in 1981.
That said, an ABC/Post poll completed Oct. 30 found interest in a nonparty candidate to be broad but not deep. Sixty-one percent responded favorably to the idea, but far fewer, 25 percent, endorsed it strongly. And overcoming major-party allegiance is a tough task. The best showings by third party candidates in the last century have been Teddy Roosevelt’s 27.4 percent in 1912, Ross Perot’s 18.9 percent in 1992 and Robert “Fighting Bob” LaFollette’s 16.6 percent in 1924. None came close to actually winning.
Doing well takes a popular candidate, and as noted, Paul, Trump and Bloomberg all have challenges. Here’s a rundown of their ratings in the latest ABC/Post favorability survey, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates:
PAUL – Thirty-two percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of Paul, but 35 percent view him unfavorably; another third have no opinion. Paul’s only 8 points above water in his own party – 43 percent of Republicans view him favorably, 35 percent unfavorably – moving to an even split among independents and a 19-point negative score among Democrats.
Paul’s lost ground in the past month among “very” conservative Americans, slipping from 44 percent favorable in late November to 35 percent now. He’s made that up among “somewhat” conservatives and moderates, therefore holding even overall.
Paul, moreover, has problems beyond favorability. As noted in the ABC/Post political poll earlier this week, only 37 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents think Paul has the personality and temperament to serve effectively as president, only 42 percent think he’d pursue policies most Americans would find acceptable and 45 percent see his opposition to U.S. military intervention as a major reason to oppose his candidacy for the GOP presidential nomination. Paul hasn’t said if he’d run as an independent should he lose the party race.
TRUMP – In contrast to Paul, Trump has a 20-point positive spread, 56-36 percent favorable-unfavorable, among Republicans. But his ratings are more sharply divided among political groups. Trump’s favorable score drops by 15 points among independents, and falls further, to 30 percent, among Democrats, with 61 percent seeing him unfavorably.
Trump, similarly, goes from a 52 percent favorable among very conservative Americans to half that, 27 percent, among liberals. And even among very conservatives, 41 percent see him unfavorably, contributing to his net negative rating overall.
The wealthy Trump has a 19-point popularity deficit among people in $100,000-plus households. And he’s particularly unpopular, six in 10 unfavorable, among senior citizens and college graduates. His unfavorable ratings in these groups rival his among Democrats and liberals.
BLOOMBERG – Bloomberg’s ratings are more evenly balanced in partisan terms – an 8-point gap between Democrats (36 percent see him favorably) and Republicans (28 percent). That compares with an 18-point gap for Paul between these groups, and a 26-point spread for Trump.
Bloomberg is more liked than disliked among liberals and moderates (12-point positive favorable-unfavorable gaps) and is essentially even among those who say they are somewhat conservative. Only very conservatives are more negative than positive, 40-26 percent. He’s much better known – and better-liked – in the Northeast than elsewhere.
METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cell phone Dec. 14-19, 2011 among a random national sample of 1,019 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 4 points. The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling, data collection and tabulation by SSRS/Social Science Research Solutions of Media, Pa.

Wow the media needs to learn how things work, try listening to the people and reporting what happens as news.
I don’t know how many times media calls ron paul a third party candidate, yet ron paul keeps winning every GOP poll after poll.
Posted by: robert m | December 21, 2011, 9:31 am 9:31 am
You forgot to mention the BIGGEST Hurdle to a 3rd party candidate.
MEDIA BIAS. Anytime the status Quo 2 party system is challenged,
The Media goes Spin and screws America out ot their candidate of choice.
Example:
The facts show more Americans 42% wanted to vote for Ross Perot than
Clinton or Bush1. But because the Media convinced the voters that
“A vote for Ross Perot is a wasted vote”, “Ross Perot can’t win, don’t waste your vote”,
“R P the long-shot candidate”, almost half of RP supporters voted for a one of the others.
This cost America 10 Trillion dollars. Graphs & explanation here: VoteYourHeart.US
This is nothing less than “Election Tampering” which is a felony offense.
We the voters are perfectly capable of determining winners and loosers without your Bias.
You know that drawing conclusions about a candidates electability affects how and whether people vote – both in the Polls and in the VOTING BOOTH. Please cease and desist! It is fully in your power to report on candidates in an objective fashon – please start NOW.
See VoteYourHeart.US for the evidence.

For 60 years,I have been watching this country slip further and further down from being a nation that promotes freedom to a country that promotes whatever they can get for the buck. Who’s to blame? The major political parties that usually manage to give the voters no real choice between the philosophical differences between candidates. This time may be different, that is, if the republicans have sufficient intelligence to promote Ron Paul as their candidate.
Posted by: john locke | December 21, 2011, 9:36 am 9:36 am
You also forgot to mention structural roadblocks to getting on the ballot for third parties – it’s almost guaranteed the candidate wouldn’t be on the ballot in several states – and only on the ballot in a ‘funny’ way in others (where people would have to be taught to vote for a proxy candidate).
No – like Russia we have rules that favor the ruling parties and we aren’t very democratic at all to 3rd party candidates. Sorry if that offends – but the answer is to become more democratic, not to live in denial.
Posted by: RoboBobo | December 21, 2011, 9:40 am 9:40 am
I would favor a 3rd party running for POTUS and be a permant choice.
I think it would bring a better goverment in the sense that it would make the other parties more aware of working for the people and not just for the the parties as it is with the republicans.
Posted by: Adam Kushner | December 21, 2011, 9:45 am 9:45 am
Interestingly historically, the only time the Media Mantra “He can’t win” ramps up is when the candidate would have otherwise won, The Media KNOWS that this lie will TRICK 1/2 of the non-establishment candidates supporters into voting for someone else. See the facts: VoteYourHeart.US
Posted by: ed howard | December 21, 2011, 9:45 am 9:45 am
I am a Ron Paul supporter, and I will vote for Dr. Paul regardless of Party affiliation, but I know it is a futile endeavor. Dr. Paul is simply not electable. Realistically, America is just not ready for someone of Ron Paul’s caliber and integrity. It’s sad, really. My hope is that the country isn’t totally destroyed before the people are ready to HEAR what Ron Paul is saying. My prediction is four more of the Obamanation because the GOP really has nothing to offer but entertainment at this point.
God help us…
Posted by: CB | December 21, 2011, 9:54 am 9:54 am
I’d LOVE any Republican to run as a third party because it would ASSURE an Obama WIN!!! Out of the 3 mentioned in the above story, only Ron Paul would be viable. Trump is a CLOWN with no chance and Bloomberg hasn’t got any support.
Posted by: demNme5 | December 21, 2011, 10:16 am 10:16 am
Trump? Hahaha. Laugh of the day. The only reason he’s rearing his head is because his show is getting ready to come back on the air in a couple weeks. Maybe he can get Newt to appear. Oh, I forgot, Newt doesn’t have a compassionate, charitable bone in his body.

Ron Paul can’t win!
Ron Paul can’t win!
Wait! Hold on! He is winning, but nevermind that, because even if he does, then Iowa is irrelevant….bla bla bla.
Ron Paul is a racist!
He’s a Jew hater!
He’s cold hearted!
He’s the big bad wolf! He’ll steal and eat your little baby if you don’t watch out.
Furthermore, Santa Claus doesn’t support Ron Paul, because Santa thinks amerika needs to spend a few trillion dollars on a war with Iran.
And the beat goes on and on and on………
Can you smell the fear and disdain for the truth? The air is so thick with it that you can cut it with a knife……….
………..Newt? Romney? –or any of the rest of the welfare-warfare neocons? What about those BS throwers like Donald Trumpery or that gun-banner, Bloomberg?
Yawn…..Is that the best you got?!?
Ron Paul……..Baby!!!!

These articles make me laugh, abc,CNN,NBC,fox are all part of the same msm idiots that don’t know that their is this little thing called the Internet where MOST Americans get their info from and clearly states that Ron Paul is the best candidate! But the msm are pushing the panic button with Iran an N Korea- just like they did with Iraq.
But Americans can see that it’s just hyped up propaganda that just doesn’t work anymore lol so just forget it- this isn’t the Bush crowd anymore. Msm cannot and will not change the min of educated voters and military personnel who 70% of them support Dr. Ron Paul, YouTube ROn Paul and listen to him, don’t listen what the msm media only puts out there- unless you are a puppet like abc is :)

Ron Paul makes me laugh: Obama no longer makes me laugh at all. Wouldn’t vote for either one of them.

A third party run by any one of those losers would only syphon votes away from the Republican Party candidate. Frankly I hope they ALL run. But they won’t. Paul is at least smart enough to know he cannot win, period. Bloomberg is unknown to most of the country, Trump is simply a clueless buffoon huckster……..

Wakeup, you need to … wake up. Wars are not prevented by merely hiding one’s head in the sand and saying we won’t participate. Ron Paul is just a half-sensible, half-senile, grumpy old man. But I’d vote for him over Obama any day, so be happy.
Posted by: Colonel Kurtz | December 21, 2011, 10:58 am 10:58 am
The best third party candidate would be Colin Powell. He has all skills as well as integrity.
Posted by: Lyle Heston | December 21, 2011, 11:04 am 11:04 am
I would go for Colin Powell but for the zany right General Powell hasn’t got what it TAKES. He’s NOT dumb, mean, greedy, unscrupulous, lacking in integrity and he is well-liked by MILLIONS on BOTH sides!!!
As for the IOWA Caucuses, why does ANYONE even care??? They NEVER make much of a difference in the actual election AND it’s a caucus NOT an election!!
Posted by: demNme5 | December 21, 2011, 11:22 am 11:22 am
Write in Colin Powell for president, he doesn’t want the job-which makes him the best candidate.
Posted by: Lyle Heston | December 21, 2011, 11:26 am 11:26 am
Colon Powell is about as attractive and interesting as watching grass grow on Uranus. An alternative for the desperately weak-minded.

Ron Paul should become a community organizer, or maybe a Wal-Mart greeter.

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am starting to like Ron Paul. Some of his ideas are a little out there, but overall, he makes sense.
This year, I just may support a third party candidate (I am an independent) because I would like to see both the Republicans and the Democrats taken down a peg. Their bickering and inability to get along is driving this country down – fast.
I honestly don’t think Ron Paul would be any worse as a president than Bush or Obama (both disappointments) and having a third party actually win could be just what this country needs.

Ron Paul doesn’t need to run 3rd party, he’s in FIRST place in Iowa right now. The people of America have seen the goon squad of the GOP and after they shoot up in popularity, they come back down in a crash landing. Paul however, slowly and steadily spreads his message of peace, prosperity, and liberty, and a growing number of people are understanding and accepting of his message. He fights for states rights, individual liberties, against the TSA & NDAA & evil Patriot Act & the costly Wars & the racist War on Drugs & the corrupt Federal Reserve.
If the MSM is going to ask anyone about a 3rd party run, ask ROMNEY! He is the rich elitist who has the $200+ million dollars to run, and Romney is also trailing in the polls, in 3rd place and falling. Why doesn’t ABC ask Romney if he will run 3rd party or if he’ll instead endorse Dr. Paul once it’s clear Romney isn’t getting the nomination?

SEARAMBLER, you must love endless wars and banker bailout theft like Colonel Klutz if you’re an Obama lover. You must be a neo-con because Obama has followed the same policies as Bush.

Did Bush attack Libya, SEAIDIOT?? Did Bush increase troops in Afghanistan, SEABONEHEAD?? You are as clueless as the blind republicans voting for Romney, Newt, Santorum, Bachman, blah blah blah. And if conservatives love war, you must be conservative since you support Obama for attacking Libya. And you’re a boob for believing the US is going to leave Iraq permanently. We didn’t leave Germany…didn’t leave Japan….we have 900 bases in over 130 countries…we’re not leaving Iraq…that’s just another puppet government that the banker controlled presidents like Obama and Bush installed….as my name reads, ‘WAKEUP’!!

Darth, you must love Obama. Stating that you don’t support Ron Paul implies that you support one or more of the other banker bought and sold GOP candidates. And if you support one of those idiots, you might as well support Obama. They are all owned by the banks. You must have supported the illegal banker bailout theft if you don’t support Ron Paul. Obama voted for it. Bush supported it. All of the other GOP candidates refuse to abolish the illegal and private Federal Reserve. You must support all of the endless wars as Obama has done nothing different than the warmonger neo-con Bush…he’s attacked Libya. Again I advise you to research Operation Northwoods and Executive Order 11110 if you have any desire to educate yourself. If not, continue your love affair with Obama or any of the other GOP candidates as they are the same.

He has been fighting to abolish the Federal Reserve for 30 years. He has been fighting to cease the endless nation building via the illegal wars for 30 years. Frankly, I’m tired of Americans that refuse to wake up. I was such an idiot for 30 plus years. Research Operation Northwoods and Executive Order to start. Start there with an open mind then continue to research the truth. Americans that continue to support war and The Federal Reserve are brainwashed.

Why would Ron Paul run a third party campaign? Why is he even being considered a potential third party candidate? He makes more sense than any other candidate in all the debates I’ve watched. I heard Ron Paul say he has no intention of running a third party campaign during an interview I saw. So why is every news story I see on the internet hint at a third party run? He polls higher than Bachman or Huntsman, but is mentioned less in the so called mainstream media. Why? If Ron Paul is doing better in the polls than other candidates, why wouldn’t ABC interview him a little more often to find out why he seems to be better liked by potential voters than, say, Romney? I personally think Ron Paul’s ideas are better all around. I would like to at least read some stories about his previous voting record. I think perhaps comparing Ron Pauls voting record to other people might help clear the air.
