Political polarization across the country and lack of confidence in a two-party system to solve people’s problems is a huge problem Young Americans say they have abandoned the Republican and Democratic Party nationwide.

A new NBC News Keeping Survey poll powered by SurveyMonkey asked 19,682 U.S. adults about our current status. Politics President Donald Trump is close to his first 100 days of office. The results show that 64% of independents have negative views on the Democratic Party, while 71% of Republicans have negative views on the Republican Party. Among Gen Z independents, those unfavorable numbers are roughly the same.

Meanwhile, it is more likely to see themselves as independents than Gen X and baby boomers. Under these uncertain conditions, many voters entered politics without a strong connection with traditional parties.

Corruption and corrosive politics are the main concerns of other young independents who spoke to NBC News, including 19-year-old Nathan Gong, a UT Austin student.

Gong said: "It's a bipartisan issue" and members of Congress have to spend a lot of time raising funds.

Luo grew up with his parents who immigrated from China. He said he still holds many traditionally conservative and liberal beliefs, but he now considers independent.

"Republicans, I think they have a long way to go, especially among different groups and different groups that have traditionally not voted for Republicans," Luo said.

When asked about the Democrats, Go too far in some areas.

“I think when (the Democrats) have a kind of compassion, you do a lot of things in the name of compassion and helping people, but you’re just losing contact with most people, the average American, the average person wants,” Gong said. He added: "I think a lot of the issues surrounding identity may be a little bit too much. I think that's reflected in many recent elections."

Jack Nagel, 26, an independent California resident who worked for the Good Party, a startup that helps run and serve independent candidates, said in an interview that he “describes the Democratic Party as frozen.”

"They did nothing to get in the way of what Trump was trying to accomplish, nor did they provide clear information to voters," Nagle said.

“Growing up, you taught that America is a beacon of democracy and strong democratic values ​​around the world,” Nager said. “You’ll see polarization and less action in our elected officials.”

However, Nager's frustration with the Democratic Party did not attract him to join the Republican Party.

"I now describe the Republican Party as a person now dominated by one person, we all know who that is, that is President Trump. I don't think they offer any kind of vision, either."

"I would consider myself politically homeless because I don't have a party to speak to my values ​​and beliefs," Nager said.

New polls found that 65% of Gen Z independents believe that neither Democrats nor Republicans are fighting for people like them, and 78% say the country is on the wrong path.

The poll also shows that 67% of all independent voters are somewhat or strongly opposed to the way Trump takes charge of the president’s work. Nearly half (48%) of Zers strongly opposed, while Gen Z women had the highest opposition.

Independence voters are closer to Democrats and progress than Republicans and conservatives when considering the president’s performance in his first three months.

Gen Z voters described a 28% majority when Zers Gen’s view of Trump’s administration actions to date.

Natasha Mizell, 25, said she was disappointed with Trump. She was the first generation of Americans, raised with conservative parents in Cuba, but now tends to improve.

“A lot of times the comments the president will make are very unprofessional and a lot of times it can create a more gap between people and I think comments from the president can signal the rest of the country in this way,” Mizel said.

Extremism, she said, prevents young people from choosing between two evil minorities.

"While now we do support bipartisans at the federal level, I think our generation is ready to adopt and change that," Mizell added. "I do think now that we end up with the presidential election, you do have to choose the two smaller drawbacks. But at the local and state levels, we can have that choice and be able to actually enact change and choose independents who reflect our actual views."

Despite record independent voters participating in the 2024 presidential election, independents are unable to participate in every election in all 50 states as many shut down the party’s primary. The failure of the presidential campaign from a third-party or independent candidate has also raised doubts about the feasibility of a third-party candidate winning at the national level.

Nager said he believes the solution lies in a new generation of elected officials and is committed to getting more independents to run and vote at the local level.

"The deck is undoubtedly piled up. But what we are doing at the local level to promote people to support people, independence, anti-corruption candidates will pave the way for reforms at the state level and hopefully ultimately at the federal level."
