    Werewolf Support for Third U.S. Political Party at High Point

    Thanks trump


    STORY HIGHLIGHTS
    62% say a third party is needed, up from 57% in September
    Highest support for a third party by one percentage point
    A record-high 63% of Republicans favor a third party





    The latest results are from a Jan. 21-Feb. 2 poll. The survey was conducted before recent news reports that dozens of government officials in prior Republican administrations were in discussions to form an anti-Donald Trump third political party.

    The survey found Americans' favorable opinion of the Republican Party has declined to 37%, while 48% view the Democratic Party positively. The poll also shows 50% of U.S. adults identifying as political independents, the highest percentage Gallup has ever measured in a single poll.

    Gallup first asked about the need for a third party in 2003. At that time, most Americans did not think it was necessary, with 56% saying the parties were doing an adequate job representing the American people and 40% saying a third party was needed.

    In several election years -- 2006, 2008 and 2012 -- Americans were divided as to whether a third party was needed, but since 2012, Americans have consistently favored the idea.

    Majority of Republicans Now Favor Third Party
    Independents are usually much more likely than Republicans or Democrats to favor a third political party, but in the current poll, Republicans are nearly as likely as independents to hold this view, 63% to 70%. That represents a dramatic shift for Republicans since last September when 40% favored a third party.

    Republicans' current level of support for a third party is also the highest Gallup has measured for Republicans or Democrats in Gallup's trend. The previous high was 54% for Democrats in 2018. Currently, 46% of Democrats endorse a third party, down from 52% in September.


    Republicans' record desire for a third party comes at a time when they are deciding whether to remain loyal to Trump or to move on from him.

    Currently, 68% of Republicans prefer that Trump remain the party leader, while 31% want the party to have a new leader. Republican-leaning independents, however, are divided, with 47% wanting Trump to continue leading and 51% preferring a new voice.

    Republicans' preferences for a third party are similar among those who want Trump to continue to lead the party and among those who prefer a new leader.

    An analysis that takes into account preference for a third party -- and preference of Trump leading the party -- finds that 41% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents both favor a third party and want Trump to be the leader of the GOP. Meanwhile, 28% favor a third party but want a new leader for the GOP. The remaining 31% of Republicans and Republican-leaners either don't want a third party or don't have a preference on Trump's future role in party politics.

    More Republicans Want the Party to Move to the Right Than to the Center

    The survey asked Republicans and Republican-leaning independents what direction they would like to see the party move in the future. A 40% plurality want the party to become more conservative, while 34% want it to stay the same and 24% to become more moderate. While Republican identifiers are about twice as likely to say the party should become more conservative than moderate (44% to 21%), Republican-leaning independents are split, with 36% wanting it to move further to the right of the ideological spectrum and 30% to move toward the center.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    The 2 party system is a bad joke.

    The GOP had an opportunity last week to stay viable as a national party.

    Somehow, they decided to choose "rabbit hole" instead. We'll definitely see the emergence of a real 3rd party in the next few years.

    Yeap


    This is going to create a party that will challenge the trump owned Republican Party


    That means the right won’t control any of the three main sections of our government


    Out of power for future


    This new party will get the corporate cash


    The trump party won’t


    It will be run and funded by racist and Q folks


    A recipe for utter failure and chaos


    This new party leadership fully realizes this


    Their main goal will be the death of the trump party as a path to regain power


    The cult will go on

    But will be a violent clown show until he and it are dead

    I take it you did not get the gist of the poll.

    Ain't happening, the US will never have a viable third party unless they went to parliamentarian Government which also isn't happening

    Today, a third party is doomed, it would have a hard time even getting on the ballot in most States, the only success it could ever have is in local politics

    To me this is one of those that sounds good in theory, thus polls well, but when it comes to brass tacks is a different story. (and I say this as a person who would be open to it)

    As I noted, can't happen, unless you went with straight ideological parties, and that also ain't happening because none of them would be successful in a Presidential form of Government.

    Ah, wasn't I who predicted Trump would win in a landslide, or, that he would still be President in January, appears someone has a short memory
