(CNN)Even if they're down on the independent candidates being presented to them, nearly 40% of Americans think a third political party is needed to fix the political system and another 47% think it needs improvements, according to a new poll.

A NBC/WSJ poll out Sunday shows 38% of respondents think the two-party system is seriously broken and the country needs a third party, the highest number who have said so since NBC/WSJ started tracking the question in 1995. The poll shows only 1 in 10 adults agree that the two-party system works fairly well.
Independents were the most likely to have said the two-party system is broken and a third party is needed, at 62%. Thirty-seven percent of Democrats and 31% of Republicans said the same.
The polls comes at the same time that nearly half of voters are sour on the highest-profile presidential candidate who is considering running outside of the two major political parties.

Half of Eligible Voters did not vote in 2016.....10s of millions of adults stayed home. That's really the biggest story from 2016.

How exactly does a political party get started?

Or better yet why don't the big two parties grow some balls and kick out the extreme people in their group and tell them to hold their own nuts

like the Tea Party took over the Republicans and morphed into what it is now.. why didn't they just boot them

 

[EBK String]

we need an ADOS party

 

[Devilinurear]

We can have as many parties as we want.

Third party would split the democrat vote, and republicans would win everyy general election. Those christian conservative pro life folks will vote republican no matter what. Trump just spoke last weekend at CPAC, and ranted, and cursed for two hours.
