CV NEWS FEED // A recent Gallup report has found that a majority of Americans “think a major third party is needed” in the political system, but the implications behind their sentiments are not necessarily clear.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans in the Gallup poll responded that a third major party is needed because the Democrat and Republican parties do not do an adequate job representing American citizens.

However, according to the Gallup article on the findings, “it is unclear whether they are genuinely expressing a desire for a third option or are simply frustrated with the two existing parties.”

A graph of the poll responses showed that in the converse, 37% of participants agreed with the statement that “Republican and Democratic parties do an adequate job of representing the American people,” an uptick of three percent from 2023.

According to the graph, 58% of participants who this year responded that a third party is needed is a decrease from 2023, when 63% responded the same.
