The Data

45% of Americans Are Independent

According to Gallup's January 2026 polling, a record-high 45% of U.S. adults now identify as political independents. That's more than Democrats (27%) and Republicans (25%) combined.

This isn't a fringe group. This is the largest political bloc in America—and it's growing every year.
