Americans Are Abandoning Political Parties
According to usnews.com, the latest Gallop Poll has found that loyalty to both the Democratic and Republican parties is at an all-time low. In 2015, for the 5th year in a row, "at least 4 in 10 U.S adults identify as political independents" a Gallop spokesperson said. 42% of Americans also said they are independents last year and 43% in 2014. 29% of U.S adults said they were Democrats and 26% identified as Republicans. The Democrats' share this year was the lowest in Gallup's 65 years of asking about party identification. The previous Democratic low was 30% in 2014. The 26% the identified as Republicans was only 1 percentage point higher than the historical Gallup low in 2013.
