A new Gallup poll shows that 62% of Americans would like to see a 3rd party come to fruition. Gallup polled 906 Americans and looked at a variety of things including party affiliation, party approval, and the idea of a 3rd party. More on the poll from The Daily Caller:
The poll surveyed 906 adults between January 29 and February 2 and found that 62 percent of survey participants think that the Republican and Democrat “parties do such a poor job representing the American people that a third party is needed.” Gallup began recording third-party support in 2003, and the previous high point for third-party support, 61 percent, came in September 2017.
Furthermore 50 percent of participants self-identified as Independents, by far the highest mark recorded by Gallup, with Republicans and Democrats evenly splitting the remaining 50 percent. Both parties also received negative approval ratings, with 48 percent approving of the Democrat party and just 37 responding favorably of the Republican party.
A “MAGA Patriot Party” filed with the Federal Election Commission in late January, but the office of former President Donald Trump denied any affiliation with the group’s organizers. (RELATED: Trump Campaign Disavows The New MAGA Patriot Party)
Want for a 3rd party is at an all-time high as many Americans feel as if the Democrats and Republicans are unable to do anything substantial. Although historically 3rd parties have failed to gain any traction, now may be the time one actually succeeds.
I agree, that should we be able to “police” the Party we hold membership in, that it could be done. I also am surprised that due to the fact we are seeing so many RINO’s, that something hasn’t already been done. But seeing that the Democratic Party has been morphed into a Socialist version of the party, and hasn’t seen any blowback from diehard Democrats, we need to look deeper into the Political Process.
The “SURVEY” of accurate will likely represent 62% of voters, and that includes Republicans and Democrats. If that is accurate, the remainder percentage leaves 38% as Democrats, Republicans, and fringe Political Party’s. Although I don’t necessarily agree, it might happen, I still think that the Right course of action would be to force the Democratic Party to rename their Party to reflect their current Political Party Platform, which is Socialist in operation. Every day they operate as if they’re Democrats is a failure in our Party System.
If a new Party is developed, it should be a Constitutional Patriot Platform, not a “free form” Party.
I also suggest that we institute a Signed Political Contract that guarantees that a Politician running under a specific Political Platform, be required to adhere to that Specific Platform. Should they deviate, they would be replaced by that Party President with a Party Alternate.
The liberal idiot voters will vote to these rhinos because they have been so brainwashed. We have the most corrupt party the democrats and a very weak republican party with many traitors among them. Biden/Harris the biggest crooks are in the white house
I think it is a bad idea. It will make the democrats stronger and the Republicans weaker because a 3rd party would just be another party to fight with. What Biden is doing to this country is absolutely devastating and the millions of illegals here and more and more coming will destroy our country completely. Just remember foreign species destroy native species. Same with us and too many of these invaders are already here. no ore deportations is insane even the vilest criminals are kept here and protected. I would stop all immigration and refuges till our country is virus free and the jobs are back for our own people. But Biden and his cabal have MADE AMERICA LAST their slogan. When you elect a corrupt 50 year failing politician you can really not expect a good outcome. Start deporting illegals in mass and clean out our country from these leeches. I have no sympathy for people that run from their own countries and come here and demand what our own people don’t have and need. Stop all immigration from, the Middle East, China, Iran and all countries that are our enemies. China is our biggest enemies and they managed to put their corrupt demented monster into the white house. I bet China is already developing another virus for the next pandemic and I am sue the democrats will help them. I am sure China and Democrats are partners in destroying our country.
A third party never have any traction in the past and always have a low percent of approval. The present political enviroment may make it possibble for a new party to florish after all 62 percent approval is not a badnumber.
I agree, a third party is disasterous. Let the rinos to the other side and we will stay right where we are. We are no longer a silent or quiet majority anymore. It’s time the Republican Party made our way without the scum that have been lying and waffling. We need to make America Great Again, after what bidden has been doing for the last three weeks. Bye Bye rinos.
I’m sure a third party will get exactly the election results Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic want them to have.
A third party is a very bad idea. The Democraps will then remain in power for years. What we need is to primary all the RINOs and never- Trumpers. Mitch the Turtle has to go along with the seven who voted against Trump.
