60% polled feel we need a third party. Only 26% think the Republicans and Democrats are doing an adequate job.
But in the next election, 95% of these people will still vote for them.

That is the highest Gallup has measured in the 10-year history of this question. A new low of 26% believe the two major parties adequately represent Americans.
