The rally will begin in the House of Blues at 6 p.m. with his supporters and some speakers to be announced soon. Johnson will speak through a video conference to the rally.

The former New Mexico governor is averaging around 4.3 percent in national polls, less than half of the support he was receiving a couple of months ago.

Political observers have opined that Johnson’s plunge coincides with a series of mis-statements on policy issues, Sen. Bernie Sanders siphoning younger voters by campaigning for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and the rise of former CIA officer Evan McMullin’s write-in candidacy.

Supporters, however, contend that Johnson has given the Libertarian Party a boost in an election year in which voters have expressed disenchantment with both major party candidates.
