Is this race up for grabs? His campaign is refusing our request for a public forum and appears to have declined similar requests.

1. I don't think that there is any. It isn't expected to be a competitive race.

It won't even be close to being close. I don't know whether Johnson wins by 30% or by 50%, but he wins walking away.

2. Polling is expensive.
Usually polling companies will do small internal polls (with huge margins of error - say 10%-12%). Anything that polls well outside that MOE (say a 70/30 race) there simply is no economic value in doing future polling.

If the race is uncompetitive you likely will never see a poll.
