It doesn’t matter how you define it. It matters how the people that report on it define it. And almost universally, that’s horse race numbers.

Third parties are pretty much invisible for 95% of people until they start breaking into the horse race.

Nobody have a fuck about Ralph Nader or Pat Buchanan till they mattered for the result of the actual election in 2000.

No, it matter how the strategy analysts view the raw data. Not the media.

Only if you focus on winning. Bernie didn’t run in the primaries to win. He ran to influence.
