According to a new poll, 57% of male Republicans say they are likely to support Elon Musk’s “America Party”

Almost half of voters said they are likely to support a new political party proposed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to fresh polling.

A Quantus Insights survey released Wednesday found that 40% of voters said they would be likely to back Musk’s “America Party,” which aims to serve voters disillusioned with both Republicans and Democrats. Musk shared the poll’s results on X, calling the results “Encouraging.”

Musk first pitched a new political party in early June after he clashed with Donald Trump over the GOP’s multi-trillion-dollar tax and spending bill.

    There’s 0 way a labor party would take root here with how much of our population falls for moneyed propaganda. Still, more choices is always better when it comes to these political parties.

      There is absolutely an appetite for a third way/labor/social democrat party if we had a parliamentary system. I actually bet we’d see the entire country shift “left” under those conditions a lot more than people realize, as giving lefties and neolibs room to operate independently would properly marginalize a lot of Republican politics.

      I am not so sure - i think that many many young folk are both more open to it and are disenchanted with the democrat party - and this will continue to grow with the old guard insisting on shooting themselves in the foot by stubbornly resisting Mamdani in new york immediatelt after 3 “Vote Blue No Matter Who” campaigns for the in the last few presidential elections.

      You act as if unions are non-existent and Bernie Sanders has no following… Unlikely? Sure. But impossible? Nope. Literally half the Dem talk since the election has been about how much Dems feel disenfranchised by their own party. Have you been paying any attention?

        Over half of the population took a voting action not in their best interest. I know everywhere should be unionized and politicians like Bernie should be the norm, not the “fringe”.

        But to act like the average voter is rational after this election? Have YOU been paying attention? FFS a quarter of Americans actually think this admin is a good job. A rather sad portion of our population is easily swayed by propaganda and the moment a real workers party comes out? We’ll look at how they treated Mamdani, AOC and Bernie like little league.

          The fact that you call Bernie “the fringe” and dismiss him, his recent rallys, the Philadelphia sanitation union strike, and so much more shows you just want to be defeatist and spout strawmen. I guess AOC doesn’t exist either. So have fun being miserable I guess.

            If Bernie is not fringe, could you point out any others who care for the working class as senators outside of AOC? Fringe kind of means minority.

            Also, I mentioned AOC so im not sure how my comment made you think she doesn’t exist.

            Are you okay man?

            I can tell you care about getting real leftists in, so I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
