Do you think this is accurate?? Do the two main political parties really look this inept in peoples’ eyes??

Adding to the voter frustration is the fact that 60% believe neither Republican nor Democratic political leaders have an understanding of what is needed today.
Among those who are Very Angry about government policies, 80% say that neither political party’s leaders have the answers.

Ninety percent (90%) of Republicans are at least somewhat angry along with 44% of Democrats and 77% of those not affiliated with either major party.
More than seven-of-10 Republicans and unaffiliated voters say the neither party has the answers. Democrats are more evenly divided.
ginger……..yes, I think it’s much too late to pursue a third party. But infiltrating the Republican establishment will be no small task.
it doesn’t surprise me. they don’t have the answers. both parties are too connected and too weak to ever institute any of the changes that need to happen in this country. politicians, republican or democrat are most interested in reelection. it isn’t too late for a third party. a third party could wedge itself between the two. a third party is the only party that could sidestep the hot button issues like abortion and focus on things that actually matter.
