A Gallup Poll released on February 15, 2021, has found that:
“Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults say the ‘parties do such a poor job representing the American people that a third party is needed.'”
This is a record high percentage of Americans wanting a third party – in the history of Gallup’s polling on this issue!
This includes record high percentages of Independents, Republicans and Democrats:
This poll was taken from from a January 21 – February 2, 2021.
This finding tracks with our recent analysis of polling data, finding that fully 66% of Americans now hold self-identified views that place them in the Center Majority of Americans, which outnumbers both Republicans and Democrats by more than 2 to 1:
Americans are dissatisfied in record numbers with the Extremes in both Political Parties.
This is part of a Trend that has shifted Power to control elections in America to the Center Majority of Americans, if we organize and vote together as a Coalition.
While the evident frustration of Americans with some in both Parties has led this record 62% to favor a Third Party option, nevertheless, as other analysis has shown, the Power of a Third party is decidedly limited. Several factors in the American System favor the existing two Parties, and make the barriers to entry and to success very high for Third Parties.
As we have pointed out, as a voting Coalition of like-minded Republicans, Independents, and Independents in a two-Party system, the Center Majority possesses the Power to decide outcomes.
