The American two-party system is experiencing significant problems due to the fact that the majority of the population does not see in the two parties political institutions that effectively represent their interests in the bodies of power. Accordingly, the number of supporters of these two parties has decreased significantly over the past two decades, while the number of people changing party orientation from election to election has increased. The main group of voters does not consider themselves to belong to any party, characterizing themselves as "independents". At the same time, there is growing support for the creation of "third parties" or a multi-party system similar to European party systems. A number of studies show the possibility of implementing such party reforms in the United States.
