Schoolboy Brady Olsen from Iowa registered for a joke for an independent presidential candidate in Iowa.

Olsen named his candidate Deez Nuts and asked Public Policy Polling, a sociological company, to include him in the polls.

The sociological company itself is known for quite extraordinary research. For example, Public Policy Polling ranked God's approval rating (52 percent approve) and attitude towards hipsters (42 percent dislike them). At the same time, it is known as a respected research company, which often fulfills the orders of the Democratic Party.

Thanks to polls, the media and the Internet have learned about Deez Nuts.

As a result, the rating of Deez Nuts in three states came close to ten percent. In his home state, a teenager scored 9%, in North Carolina 8% and - seven percent in Minnesota. Only Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have more.

Senator Lindsey Graham, Governor Bobby Jindal and former Senator Jim Webb could only dream of such support.

Anyone and anything can be nominated for US presidency - for example, in 1968, the leftist movement yippi called for a vote for a boar named Pigasus, considering it a good alternative and a worthy competitor for Richard Nixon.

But if Pigasus's nomination was a political gesture, then Deez Nuts is just a joke, thanks to which the low-quality phrase from the American meme was spoken in news releases, reports Medusa.

The phrase itself, which has turned into a relatively funny meme, is known to Americans thanks to the video that appeared in the spring of 2015, in which an African American with an unusual bite utters “deez nuts” and laughs infectiously.
