"Growing Support for Third Party as Republicans Lead on Economy and National Security: Gallup Poll"
Support for a third major political party in the United States has reached 63%, the highest level since Gallup first asked the question in 2003. The increase is primarily driven by Republicans, with 58% now in favor of a third party. Political independents continue to be the group most likely to support a third party, with 75% expressing this view. While support among Democrats has also increased to 46%, it remains below a majority. It is unclear to what extent Americans actually desire a third party, as opposed to expressing frustration with the two major parties.
