Sixty-three percent of Americans say a third U.S. political party is needed, up from 56% a year ago and by one percentage point the highest in Gallup's 20-year trend.

Story Highlights

  • Third time support has exceeded 60%, along with 2017 and 2021
  • Republicans primarily behind the increase, with 58% now in favor
  • Political independents remain group most likely to favor third party

      AND it’s a stupid poll anyway, because most Americans don’t even understand the question as asked.

      It’s kind of shocking because Gallup definitely knows better than to ask questions like this

      Results for this Gallup poll are based on […] a random sample of 1,016 adults, […]the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

      AND results are on a sample too small to be significant.

      My guy, do you even know the point of statistics?
