| Subject: Half of U.S. voters now say a third political party is needed, 35% would vote independent Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:32 pm | |
| Exactly half of U.S. voters now say that a third party “is needed,” while over a third said they would likely vote for an alternative candidate in the 2020 presidential election, according to a new survey.
Job approval is an issue. Only a fifth of the respondents said they felt that the Republican and Democratic parties do an “adequate job” of representing the American people
Those are among the findings of a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Tuesday which found that 50 percent of all registered U.S. voters say a third party “is needed” — that includes 45 percent of Republicans, 63 percent of independents and 45 percent of Democrats.
This is news of interest to the Libertarian and Green parties, along with Sen. Bernard Sanders and former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who ponders running for president as an independent.
Would Americans vote for such a candidate?
