If you look at almost any poll related to the 2016 presidential race, you will see four candidates: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.

You're familiar with the first two names, of course, and chances are one of them will be our next president. The other two names - Johnson and Stein - may not be as familiar.

Johnson is the Libertarian Party presidential nominee and he's currently polling at about 4 percent nationally- compared to 45 percent and 43 percent for Clinton and Trump, respectively. Stein is choice for roughly 2 percent of those polled. And although Alabama-specific numbers for Johnson and Stein are hard to find, it's a pretty good bet they are low.

Why is that? It's because Alabama is one of the worst places in the country for third-party candidates.

FiveThirtyEight.com crunched the numbers to find the states that traditionally have given the least support to third party candidates.

Here's what they found:

In 2000, Alabama gave the fifth lowest level of support to Ralph Nader's independent candidacy. The state was fifth and fourth lowest in 1996 and 1992, respectively, when it came to voting for billionaire Texan Ross Perot. And, in 1980, Alabama came in dead last in support for third-party candidate John Anderson in the race against Democrat Jimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan.

It appears not supporting third-party candidates is a Southern thing. Third party candidates in the 1980, 1992, 1996 and 2000 presidential races found the lowest levels of support in Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee and Georgia.

Third party candidates have won Alabama only twice in the last 70 years. The first time was in 1948, when Strom Thurmond ran under the States' Rights Democratic Party and won Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. The second time was in 1968, when former Alabama governor George Wallace ran under the American Independent Party and won his home state, as well as Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Welcome to Wake Up Call. Let's see what's going on today:

Apple's new emojis include a creepy clown

Apple recently rolled out 72 new emoji, including what some people are describing as a high-tech version of a creepy clown.

The new emojis also include a glammed-up rockstar, a drooling face and a hand snapping a selfie. There's even a gorilla that some people say reminds them of Harambe, the animal killed at the Cincinnati Zoo earlier this year after he grabbed a 3-year-old boy that had fallen into his enclosure.

The clown, complete with blue hair and red nose, comes just as there's been a rash of creepy clown sightings across the country.

Abedin hosts Hillary fundraiser

Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin was among the hosts of a Thursday fundraiser for the Democratic presidential nominee. The Georgetown event featured Abedin, Vogue magazine Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg.

It's the first public appearances for Abedin since the FBI announced it was reinvestigating emails related to Clinton's use of a personal email server while she was Secretary of State. The emails appeared on a computer used by Abedin's estranged husband, former Congressman Anthony Weiner. Weiner is currently being investigated for sexual text messages he sent to a teenage girl.

Fox taps Greta's replacement

Fox News has selected the replacement for former host Greta Van Susteren.

Tucker Carlson will take over the 7 p.m. ET timeslot on the cable news network, Fox host Brit Hume tweeted. Hume had been filling in for Van Susteren since she left the network earlier this year.

Carlson is the founder of the Daily Caller, a conservative news website.

Until tomorrow.
