Does anyone know how well McCmillan is polling? The poll on this childboard says that there's 0% support for Independents, so does anyone have any different data?

McMillan only got 0.30% in 2006; he'll probably improve on that showing, but not by a whole lot. 

Only an extremely minuscule percentage of the population actually watches debates; I still haven't been able to find a video of it online. And I don't think McMillan has much name recognition besides those familiar with the debate.

The only real question is whether he ends up with over 50,000 votes so that the Rent is 2 Damn High Party ends up with a position on the NYS ballot for the next 4 years.

I would hope some New Yorkers watch the news or at least SNL to wonder who this guy is. I think he could eclipse at least 1%.
 I keep hearing that the Freedom Party has polled well as a third party, but I don't generally look at NYS gubernatorial polls since it is fairly obvious.
