Americans are fast losing interest in political parties: Poll | Americans view both major parties in the country more negatively, and the major party nominees more negatively than they did four years ago, a new poll has revealed. According to the USA Today/Gallup Poll, “For the first time
at this point in at least six elections, voters are inclined to see both the Republican
and Democratic parties unfavorably. The poll showed that more than four in 10
Americans now call themselves independents, CBS News reports. Four years ago at
this time during the election time, President Barack Obama was seen favorably
by 63 percent of Americans that is now down to 53 percent. According to the report,
the poll showed that then GOP presidential nominee John McCain was viewed favourably
by 59 percent of Americans four years ago at this time, Mitt Romney is now viewed
favorably by just 48 percent of Americans. According to the poll, negative views
could be driven in part by a number of negative advertising in swing states from
outside groups not officially affiliated with either campaign. Since candidates
do not need to put their name on such ads, ad makers have more latitude in making
the spots more negative, the report said. The survey found that Americans are
receptive to Romney's claims that Obama has run what Romney calls ‘gutter’ campaign
tactics, the report added.
