I cannot answer this poll because I do not believe in answering false dichotomies. While I lean towards Johnson, I am considering also abstaining. I am also considering voting for Trump to help punish him.
My political beliefs are much closer to Johnson than to anyone else running. So I will probably vote for him. I could never bring myself t vote for Clinton. She convinced me to run for Congress in 1994 to be able to fight against her planned medical insurance reform then. I lost the election, and we lost that battle, though it did take them a couple decades to win.
I might abstain from the presidential race. I could go vote and just vote in the down ballot races. They usually have a much more direct effect on my life anyway.
And I could vote for Trump. If I did, it would be to try to punish him for trying to rig the election. I figure he is only running to get Clinton elected and not because he wants to be president. While he has an ego that might be pushing it, I firmly believe he is much more profit motivated than that. And there is no money (for him) in being president. I cannot see his willingly taking the pay cut to $435,000 annually, even though all of his living expenses are also paid for. He would also have to put all of his holdings in a blind trust while in office. I honestly cannot see him planning on doing this. So, if he is profit motivated and not doing this because of the money, where is there money? Well, having a president who owes you a large favor, say for taking out the opposition, could be very profitable. As one example, look at all the housing contracts the military is letting right now. They are contracting military housing on base to private companies to manage. This would fit right in to Trump's companies and expertise. And a president who owes you could make several of these contracts come your way without too much trouble at all. Yep, it could be very profitable to run for office against an old friend (he even went to Chelsea's wedding) and deliberately lose.
So I will probably vote for Johnson, but I could still abstain or vote for Trump. And while I am almost an anybody but Clinton voter, I cannot see me making Stein a choice either.
