TAEGAN GODDARD: “Political Wire has seen early results of a couple new polls that show surging independent or third party candidates while the major party candidates are losing support. In both cases, the trend is broad enough to turn the independent candidate into a spoiler and completely change the dynamics of the race.”

Could this be a trend? Given the general level of voter disenchantment, I can imagine that it would be. I had some thoughts on this a few months back. And read this, too.
