Gallup's latest poll on political identification found that 49% of Americans see themselves as politically independent — the same as the two major parties put together. (The percentage of those identifying as Democrats or Republicans was each 25% respectively.) The national polling organization, which asks the question "In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat or an independent?" has been tracking these figures (usually monthly) for a number of years now and the 49% figure is among the highest in their polls. The percentage reached 50% briefly in February of 2021. It is clear that Americans are wising up!
