Your individual vote has much the same impact either way. :shrug:

I have heard countless times that a vote for a 3rd party is a wasted vote.

I personally think voting for someone you don't like is a bigger waste.

If you vote third Party at least you did not get it wrong, so if you don't know who to vote for, third Party is a good bet, and you won't get blamed for everything.
According to Gallup, 25% of all Americans have to make the decision you asked. 25% of All Americans dislike both Trump and Clinton. 54% of all Independents dislike both major party candidates.
One in Four Americans Dislike Both Presidential Candidates
With Johnson and Stein now at around 10% give or take together, it seems quite a lot of those 25% of the electorate have decided to vote for a candidate they dislike because one or the other can win. Probably holding their nose and voting for the lesser of two evils or for the least worst candidate among the two major parties. I don't know what your poll will end up showing, but as of this moment with those who state they dislike both candidate, 40% are saying voting for one you dislike is a wasted vote, 60% consider it a wasted vote voting for a candidate that can't win. This is nationally.
Myself, I consider voting for a candidate that would be for me the lesser of two evils or the least worst candidate among those two candidate who could win a wasted vote. Mainly because I would knowingly in my mind be voting for evil or someone whom knowingly I consider would be a bad president. That is the key for me, knowingly voting for evil or a bad candidate. That is the ultimate wasted vote. Voting for the lesser of two evils is like having a choice of drinking two different poisons, one decides to drink the potent poison in hopes they can survive instead of drinking neither.
