Democrats Plunge To Historic Low as Number of Americans Identifying as Independents Soars

[Wolseley]

Actually, the article shows that both major parties are in decline; there are more independents now than in both parties. They keep talking about "major change in the American political landscape".

I certainly hope so. It's time to break the stranglehold of the Republicrats and the Democricans. Get some new parties, dedicated to the Constitution and to the People, and throw out the fat, bloated, self-serving leeches currently enriching themselves on our money.

In 2023, Democratic Party identification reached a record low, with only 27% of Americans identifying as Democrats. This matches the percentage identifying as Republicans. This decline has never been seen before in American politics, and some analysts argue it shows the Democratic Party is losing its long-held prominence.

The decline in Democratic Party identification has been a steady trend since 2008.....this decline shows people are becoming dissatisfied with the traditional two-party system. Beginning in 1991, Independents have consistently outnumbered both Democrats and Republicans in the U.S., [highlighting] a growing unhappiness with traditional party politics and a preference for non-partisan identification, reflecting a transformative shift in the American political landscape.
