"2-Term Governor Gary Johnson's Votes in North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Nevada, and Colorado Could Determine the Winner of the 2012 Presidential Election"

Libertarian Presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson is polling at 5.3% nationwide. (JZ Analytics / Washington Times).

But look at the numbers when he's included in statewide polls against Obama and Romney. 13% in New Mexico. 9% in Arizona. 7% in Colorado. 7% in New Hampshire. 8% in Montana. (PPP and others)

Governor Johnson's poll numbers - and his votes this November - may be the critical factor in "Tipping Point" or battleground states like North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Nevada, and Colorado - where Obama and Romney are 1% to 6% apart. Mitt Romney needs these five states, these 74 Electoral votes to win the White House.

North Carolina and Virginia voted Republican seven out the last eight Presidential races. Florida and Colorado voted Republican in six out of the last 8. Nevada voted Republican in five out of the last 8. All five of these battleground states voted for Barack Obama in 2008.

Zogby, Rasmussen, Gallup, CNN / Opinion Research, New York Times, Washington Post, LATimes, ABC, and CBS Polling Organizations all KNOW that 3% or 6% or 9% of the vote for Libertarian Presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson in these states could easily cost Romney 74 Electoral Votes - and the 2012 Presidential election.

Starting now, these organizations need to include two-Term Governor Gary Johnson in all state Presidential polls - especially in these five "Romney Must Win" battleground states.

Gary Johnson was a two-Term Republican Governor of New Mexico (1995-2003). During his eight years in office, he vetoed over 750 bills - more than all other governors combined. He was repeatedly recognized and honored as the "most fiscally conservative Governor in America."

Zogby, Rasmussen, Gallup, CNN / Opinion Research, New York Times, Washington Post, LATimes, ABC, and CBS Polling: Include Libertarian Presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson in all national and state Presidential polls. Show us the full picture.
