Democrats and Republicans have ruled and battled in Washington, D.C., for nearly two centuries, but support for a third major U.S. political party has the support of a large majority (63%), according to the latest Gallup Poll.
The poll asked respondents if they agree the GOP and Democrats do "such a poor job" representing the American people that "a third major party is needed," and the 63% in agreement is an all-time high in the poll and represented a 7-point increase from a year ago.
Notably, a frustrated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is weighing leaving the Democrats' "rigged" primary structure to run as an independent, which has many political insiders projecting he will siphon off many anti-Trump votes from Biden, who is increasingly unpopular among independent voters in polls, including Gallup's.
Historically, third-party support is below majorities for registered Democrats and Republican voters, but that is no longer a case for GOP voters: 58% want a major third party now, up for 45% in last year's poll. "With the 2024 presidential election looming, noted educator Cornel West has declared his candidacy for the Green Party nomination, and political scion Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce his independent presidential candidacy," Gallup's Jeffrey Jones wrote in his "bottom line" analysis.
