From The Daily Beast:
Russell Dalton, a professor of political science at the University of California,
Irvine and the author of 2012’s The Apartisan American, agrees with the assessment
that independent/swing voters are about a quarter of the electorate. … Dalton writes,
they “are open to political change and will support a third-party candidate who shares
their values.”
