Neither political party has anything resembling a majority of voters affiliated with them.
Gallup: Democrats 28%/Republicans 28%
Pew: Democrats 44%/Republicans 37%
If you add “leaners”, independents who lean more towards Democrats or lean more towards Republicans, both Gallup and Pew get just about the same results: Democrats 48%/Republicans 44%.
28% is not a majority. Neither is 48%. Americans are pretty darned dissatisfied with both political parties.
I wonder how “string them all up” would poll if it were added as a third option.

It would poll well, and then people would vote their same old prejudices and succumb to the same old politicians’ tripe. See Illinois, State of.
