David Boaz, the executive vice president of the Cato Institute, explains how various pollsters come to differing conclusions on the percentage of American voters with libertarian-leaning sympathies.

Boaz also shares how he, David Kirby, and Emily Ekins came to the estimation that 15-18% of the population could be described as "libertarian voters" in their new e-book, The Libertarian Vote: Swing Voters, Tea Parties, and the Fiscally Conservative, Socially Liberal Center, which is available here: http://amzn.to/VaQmFk.
