Well, he has more then 3-5% support already - 6% in fact, from reliable
sources (gallup poll). But the election is months away - remember how high
Perot's support level was at one point.
According to: http://www.gallup.com/poll/fastfacts.asp

2000 Presidential Election
George W. Bush now leads Al Gore in the race for president by a 13-point
margin among likely voters nationwide, 52% to 39%. This represents a
significant increase in support for Bush compared to recent polling, and is
the first time since January that Bush has held a double-digit lead over
Gore. When third-party candidates Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader are included
in the horserace, Bush leads Gore by 12 points, 50% to 38%, with Nader
garnering 6% of the vote and Buchanan just 2%. [June 23-25, 2000]
