    A Gallup poll issued on September 25th is headlined “Majority in U.S. Maintain Need for Third Major Party,” and it opens: “A majority of Americans, 60%, say a third major political party is needed because the Republican and Democratic parties ‘do such a poor job’ of representing the American people.”

    When Gallup started polling on this matter in 2003, only 40% wanted a different major party from the two existing major parties.

    The only other time when as high as 60% wanted a new major party was in October 2013, when the government shut down — something that now threatens to repeat. No other period had a percentage this high.

    This is no surprise, both of the major two political parties in the US are corrupt and non-representative of the American people. Major reform of the Democratic and GOP parties would render the need for a third party unnecessary.
