I don't think he'll "easily" do that. This is one poll. He needs to increase to 15% in FIVE national polls before the deadline (not sure when that is). Keep in mind he'll need to do this post-conventions, which is likely a time where both parties will see their base consolidate more around the nominee (I expect a bump for both Trump and Clinton). Having said that, given the sky-high unfavorable numbers for each nominee, he's definitely got a shot at pulling it off. There's certainly an appetite out there for additional options, particularly for angry conservatives and recovering BernieBros.

Unfortunately for libertarians, they couldn't have picked a more charisma-deprived candidate. If he DOES make it to the debates, I predict his support goes down, not up. Remember his performance in the 2012 primary debates

Gary Johnson now sits at 13% in the CNN polls. With the way this convention is going so far, I see him easily reaching the necessary 15% to be part of the debates. How do you think this influences the next 4 months?

I would like to assume he will mainly pull from Trump supporters but Bernie supporters seem just as confused as Trumpsters when discussing politics.
