Americans and a Third Mayor Political Party By Jedediah Bila Gallup released an interesting poll today with respect to the appetite of American voters for a third major party. According to the poll, 45% of Americans believe \”the Republican and Democratic parties do an adequate job of representing the American people\” (a number that has increased from 38% in September of 2011), while 46% believe that \”they do such a poor job that a third major party is needed\” (a number that has declined from 55% since September of 2011.)
