Gallup Poll: Most Voters Want Major Third Party

Nearly 60 percent voters believe America needs a third major political party, according to the latest Gallup poll released Thursday.

The result regarding view on need for third-party:

• 57 percent Agree;
• 37 percent Disagree.

There is an increase in the views this year as compared to previous presidential election years. In 2008 and 2012, Americans were evenly divided on the need for a third party with 46 and 47 percent respectively saying a third party was needed.

Independents have been the ones who have preferred the idea of having third party the most.

While 73 percent of independents would like to see a major third party, 51 percent of Republicans and 43 percent of Democrats favor such a formation.

The poll, which interviewed 1,020 adults, was conducted between Sept. 7 and 11. It has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
