AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
In an election year in which the two mainstream candidates are disliked at never-before-seen levels, might there be an opportunity for third party candidates?
Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party are seeing more interest in their parties' nominees than ever before, and Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson is polling close to double-digits, higher than any other third party candidate since Ross Perot in 1992.
