Me (D): Trump
Mum (R): undecided, angry with Trump. Hope Ivanka will sway
Dad (I): non-voter, slight preference for Trump, but more Bernie tbh
Brother (D): Hillary, outside chance of Stein
Sister: Too young, for Clinton

Uncle 1 (R): TRUMP
Aunt 1 (D): Hillary
Presumably 1 child for Hillary, 2 for Trump

Family 2 likely the same with less gusto.

Aunt 3 (R): Trump
Uncle 3 (D): Trump

GP (D): Trump
GM (R): Hillary

So, 9-7-1 for Trump roughly among those I can guess

Me: Rubio in primary (would've preferred Kasich, but Rubio was the best shot to beat Trump in Florida), Clinton in general
Dad- Trump
Mom- Cruz in primary, leaning Trump but still probably "undecided". If Trump does something else super misogynist she may cross over to Clinton. She thinks voting third party is a waste
Brother- Cruz in primary, undecided between Johnson/Clinton for general

Grandmother/Uncle/Aunt- Cruz in primary, Trump in general
Cousin- Cruz in primary, undecided between Johnson/Clinton for general
Another set of aunts/uncles and two cousins unaccounted for

I'm a Political Science grad student, so my classes are pretty split between D's and R's. Most the Republicans supported people like Kasich/Bush/Rubio with a few for Cruz, and are pretty split between Johnson/Clinton/Trump for the general. The Democrats almost exclusively went for Clinton, with just a couple for Sanders and are all supporting Clinton in the general.

Friends outside of class almost all supported Sanders in the primary and are voting for Clinton in the general. Exactly one Sanders voter I know said she may vote for Trump.

my neighbor is almost certainly voting for hillary clinton (considering he's a black veteran)
facebook friends from the u.s. are at this point something like 50% clinton, 20% bitter #bernieorbust types, 10% drumpfbacken, 10% #nevertrump, 10% committed third-party voters

I have not directly asked this question of anyone because this election has been so toxic and vitriolic that I don't want to unnecessarily upset family, friends or colleagues.

Going by things people have posted/shared/liked on Facebook...

-An aunt who is voting for Trump and is basically a stereotype of what a Trump supporter would be

-An uncle who is voting for Hillary; I don't know a lot about his political views other than that he voted for Bush in '00 and '04; he's fairly wealthy and owns his own business so likely not exactly a flaming liberal

-A couple of politically-connected young Republican women who are voting for Hillary

-A college acquaintance who is kind of a stereotypical BernieBro but has gotten over it and is going to vote for Hillary

-a right-wing Tea Party Republican who backed Cruz in the primary and keeps posting #NeverTrump and #NeverHillary stuff without ever saying who he plans on voting for

Most of my immediate family will be voting for Johnson, after supporting Rubio in the primary for the most part. My extended family (who arrived here in the early rather than late 20th century) tend to be flaming liberals, and will mostly transfer from Sanders to Clinton, though one person voted for Stein in 2012 and will presumably therefore be doing so again; she may take some others with her this time. The elderly extended family is pretty solidly in Trump's corner.

A result of Johnson in first and Stein in second for my family is actually decently possible, though this'll depend on who exactly votes and who exactly doesn't.

Among my friends, in the primary there was a split with (counting only those who post about politics; likely to be pretty skewed but whatever) maybe 60% of my Facebook feed being pro-Sanders (essentially all of whom have gone over to Hillary by now; I'm not sure I've ever heard Stein's name outside of family reunions and Atlas); about 30% being vocal Republican #NeverTrumpers (only a very small number of whom have gone to Trump; these have split pretty evenly between no longer speaking about politics or voting for Johnson) and about 10% having been Trumpies from the start (this group skews older, with family friends and whatnot). I'm not sure I knew anyone vocally pro-Hillary during the primary, which is sort of amusing.

Generally speaking, among all my acquaintances, Trump and Hillary are locked in a narrow race among people above about 30 years old. With those below, Hillary has a massive lead, but Johnson supporters definitely outnumber Trump's. I know no one for Johnson over the age of 30 outside of my own family (who were all introduced to his campaign by me). Under 30, it's not a particularly uncommon position to hold. Support for Trump is also generally fairly tied to just "being a Republican" among the over-30 set, while I'd say a majority of self-identified under-30 Republicans have not decided to vote for Trump.
