Wither the Two-Party System?

Season 7 Episode 702

Amid an increasingly divided political landscape, recent polls show that most Americans view the politics of both the Democratic and Republican parties to be either to the left or right of their own views, with only about one in five saying either party’s politics were “about the same” as their own. Meanwhile, a growing proportion of voters are registering as non-partisan or independent.
