He's basically getting support because he's an alternative to Trump or Biden -- not because anyone really gives a damn about him.

When it gets closer to the election (1) he will actually draw more scrutiny as to what his policies and beliefs actually are, which will eliminate a decent chunk of his supporters and then (2) on Election Day, most people aren't going to wait in line to vote for someone they know has no chance of winning and they don't really care about to begin with.
