The poll, conducted by Data Targeting, found that 55% of respondents preferred a third party option, while 65% said they would be willing to support any candidate but Trump or Clinton.

Clinton was revealed to be more disliked than Trump, with 56% of voters viewing her unfavorably to his 55%, placing both at the top of the list of the most disliked candidates in recent history.

Among millennials, who overwhelmingly favor Senator Bernie Sanders, the dislike of the two frontrunners is even higher. About 91% of voters under the age of 29 stated that they would vote for an independent candidate over Trump or Clinton.

According to a ballot test, an independent candidate would immediately begin her or his candidacy with 21% of the vote.

Pollsters reached out to 997 respondents between May 12 and 15, and the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
