Real Clear Politics Shows a broad trend of Nader & Barr climbing in the polls

The last time the Libertarian party actually cleared 1% of the total vote was in 1980, and with things going as they are I expect that all third parties will do well this year.

Umm, your chart really doesn't show anything. The only name mentioned is Obama's. And what is a "rederence"?

The numbers after the LV or RV are the percentage breakdown by party.
D then R then I then L.

It show Nader clearly climbing in the polls, he was early getting ~2%, now getting consistent 3%, and Barr is getting a pretty consistent 2%, while the best ever done on a national level by an LP candidate was Ed Clark in 1980 at just over 1%, also Barr has climbed from mid summer at under 1%.

It's just like the McCain surge, except for the fact that it's actually real.
