Clinton led Trump 39 percent to 35 percent among all registered Wisconsin voters in the Marquette poll when third-party candidates are included, with 12 percent for Johnson and 3 percent for Stein.

UW-Madison professor Connie Flanagan, who studies youth political engagement, said young people tend to be less willing to compromise with their votes, making them more likely to support candidates whose values align with theirs even if they stand no chance of being elected.

“A vote often is the principle that you stand for, so the practicalities don’t always sink in,” Flanagan said.

Allan Samaniego, a first-year student at Madison Area Technical College, supported Sanders’ primary campaign but said he doesn’t trust Clinton, citing her use of a private email server as secretary of state. Samaniego, who is Latino, also won’t vote for Trump, who he considers “really racist.”

He took a quiz online to match his political beliefs to a candidate, and Johnson was the top result.

“He’s a person I can trust, instead of Hillary or Donald Trump,” Samaniego said.

Will voters ‘come home’ to major parties?
