Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- A Gallup Poll released Tuesday found a lack of desire among U.S. voters for a third-party presidential candidate.
"The American public does not appear to believe it is important or necessary for an independent candidate outside of the traditional two major parties to step into the race in order to save the nation," Gallup said.
The poll found that 82 percent of Americans surveyed believed there were good candidates in the field and another 72 percent agreed that the candidates were focusing on the important issues.
Gallup said in a news release the findings showed that while Americans might be grumbling, they generally see the current crop of candidates as being capable of stepping into the White House.
The survey of 2,010 adults was conducted in mid-January and an error rate of 2 percent.
