He is not well known, but I think that discontent with the candidates from the major parties will lead people to seek out alternatives. I also think that, if he continues to poll well, then the mainstream media will start to treat this fact as newsworthy and will also give him more coverage. In any event, he is obviously not going to win, but the combination of Clinton and Trump has created a great opportunity for the Libertarian Party to reach out beyond its existing voters.
