Poll: 58 Percent Want Third Political Party

As voters gear up this November, many are asking themselves which candidate they will vote for, a Republican or a Democrat. A new poll by Gallup suggests that a significant portion may want neither, with 58 percent of Americans wanting a viable third party, according to the Talk Radio News Service.

Satisfaction with the current system might be waning, as the last time that Americans said that the the current two party system was giving them adequate representation was 2003. Since then, the approval rating has been dipping.

2007 was the first time that Americans said that a third party was needed, and they have not changed their mind since then. The lowest rating that the poll has gotten in favor of a third party since then was 46 percent.

Overall satisfaction rates with Congress are still not high, with only 35 percent of those polled saying that Congress is doing a satisfactory job representing America.

The survey included a sample of 1,017 voters aged 18 or over and was conducted between Sept. 4 and 7.
