Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan has formed an exploratory committee to run for president. The former Republican, who left the party last year, is seeking to lead the Libertarian ticket. He’s unlikely to get a large percentage of the vote or have any impact on who wins the election.
The polling on Amash is limited, but he’s averaged just over 2% of the vote nationally in the polling that does include him. The polls don’t show that he takes overwhelmingly from any one demographic group. Nor do they show him polling overwhelmingly with any one partisan group. Of course, with his core support being so small, that shouldn’t be too surprising. CONT.
