I have not seen lower than 32%. They're usually a fluke too when it is 32%. But there seems to be a consistent trend of polls at 32% recently.

And yup. He MAYBE had one out there poll have him in the 40's, but otherwise they've all been 38% or lower, and getting increasingly lower.

How is Net Neutrality a market restriction?

Dictating how ISP's handle internet traffic is a market restriction, pure and simple.

I've seen 20's, both bushes, nixon, carter and truman I believe all hit lower, though it's also worth noting they had points of soaring popularity

The market will either correct itself or you can make good use of antitrust laws in place of net neutrality.
