Even if they're down on the independent candidates being presented to them, nearly 40% of Americans think a third political party is needed to fix the political system and another 47% think it needs improvements, according to a new poll
A NBC/WSJ poll out Sunday shows 38% of respondents think the two-party system is seriously broken and the country needs a third party, the highest number who have said so since NBC/WSJ started tracking the question in 1995. The poll shows only 1 in 10 adults agree that the two-party system works fairly well.Independents were the most likely to have said the two-party system is broken and a third party is needed, at 62%. Thirty-seven percent of Democrats and 31% of Republicans said the same.
"Not only the fact that this President is not qualified to be the President, but the fact that both parties are consistently not doing what's necessary on behalf of the American people and are engaged every single day in revenge politics." However, Schultz does not seem to be tapping into the demand for a serious third party to challenge Democratic and Republican candidates.
