What I am asking is whether you are absolutely, totally disgusted with not just one, but with both Clinton and Trump? This should be a simple one to answer.

Not really so simple. I am not voting against anyone. I am voting for someone. Jill Stein.

True enough, but I'm looking at Trump and Clinton specifically. I clarified the OP.

Personally, I'm supporting Stein. I've left the Democratic Party for good.

Nope

This is exactly what our political system has devolved into after decades of both parties being purchased by corporate interests and/or religious crackpots.

And it promises to be the most entertaining campaign in living memory; a flawed female presidential candidate vs a wealthy buffoon with an uncontrollable ego.

Fireworks galore this fall.

No. I have been a Trump supporter for months. After listening to the speakers at the convention last night, I am even more proud of being a Trump supporter. The t-shirts arrived yesterday along with badges and other logo materials, 2 "Veterans for Trump", a simple one for our son, 3 buttons, bumper sticker, small sticky patch and a window cling!

IMO, if "NOTA" ( None Of The Above) were to be put on the ballots this time, there is a good chance it would win!
More and more, I am becoming very tempted to use the write-in blank to enter NOTA!

I'm voting third party. I'm just trying to measure the level of disgust with both Parties.

Looking at the latest polls, it is noteworthy how Clinton and Trump are driving their numbers down as third-party candidates steer to take advantage of this election cycle. By the time this is all over, both major parties should be permanently marked for what they are, corrupt and self-indulgent.

I think many voters feel a vote for a third party candidate is a wasted vote. I believe it is the strongest vote one can make.
