A new poll shows voters want third-party options but largely reject the idea of one led by Elon Musk, according to Benzinga. A new Quinnipiac poll shows 49% of voters are open to joining a third party, but only 17% say they would consider doing so if it were led by the billionaire. Trump’s approval rating remains at 44%, with 63% of voters disapproving of his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a Quinnipiac poll. Trump’s approval ratings remain below 50% on key issues, including the economy, foreign policy, trade, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Polls suggest rising support for a third-party option, but voters largely reject Elon Musk as its leader. The poll may ease concerns for Tesla shareholders, who fear Musk’s political ambitions could distract from his leadership at the EV giant.
