1. Third party candidates are hurting Clinton more ...

"With third party candidates in the race, results are too close to call, with Clinton at 41 percent, Trump at 39 percent, Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson at 13 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent."

If past is prologue, third party candidates tank near to the election when everybody figures out they can't win. The Q-Poll results suggest Hillary will get more of them than Trump.

..............A total of 94 percent of likely voters say it is "very important" or "somewhat important" that the next president unite the nation.

But voters say 60 - 37 percent that Trump will do more to divide the country as president and say by a narrow 50 - 46 percent that Clinton will do more to divide the country.

By a narrow 51 - 47 percent, voters say Trump wants to be president to do what's best for himself, rather than for the nation. Voters are divided on Clinton's motives as 50 percent say she wants to do what's best for herself and 48 percent say she puts country first.

"Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton may be King and Queen of the prom, but they are showing up solo and their dance cards are blank," Malloy said. "The winner who waltzes at the Inaugural Ball will be the candidate who finally gets the other kids to like him or her."

From September 8 - 13, Quinnipiac University surveyed 960 likely voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
