That is pretty much correct, but keep in mind he would need to basically double the average of where he is at now.

It would have a huge impact. This election will be very close and a percentage point in swing states can make a big difference. Similar to Nader's run and Florida. The more people know about third-party alternatives the larger the impact will be. The network's will only let Johnson and Stein on if they think it will help Clinton. Stein will definitely hurry Clinton so she v had no chance.
