WASHINGTON - According to the latest Zogby poll, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson has successfully narrowed the gap between himself and incumbent President Barack Obama to just 68 million likely votes. Following strong debate performances against third party and independent rivals, Mr Johnson stunned political analysts Tuesday, as almost 0.7% of the electorate said they would be likely to vote for the Libertarian if the election were held today, compared to 52% saying they would vote for Obama and 49% for Romney. This bears a stark contrast to a September 22nd poll, which gave Johnson an underwhelming 0.6% of likely voters - easily outside of the sample size margin error.
