Poll Finds 43 Percent of Voters Dissatisfied With Both Parties

A Times/Siena poll released this week found that 43 percent of registered voters said they are dissatisfied with both the Democratic and Republican parties. The survey recorded persistent frustration over the economy and foreign policy as factors contributing to the sentiment.

Respondents described feeling politically homeless amid these concerns. Younger voters registered higher levels of dissatisfaction compared with older age groups in the same poll.

The poll measured attitudes toward the two major parties without specifying candidate preferences or election outcomes. No margin of error or sample size was included in the published summary. The findings reflect responses collected in the period leading up to the poll's release.
