Aside from aggregating views of voters about the presidential election, more and more polling firms have been asking voters about their political tendency, regardless of their "official" party registration. Something that would concern the two big parties, and perhaps encourage those who are fed up with partisanship: the number of voters across the country that self-identify as independent voters exceeds that of Democrat and Republican.

While most states condition a voter's ability to effectively participate in the election process through primary/caucus voting limitations and extraneous ballot access requirements for candidates who are not part of the Red or Blue teams, states like California have adopted new voting laws that open up the process to everyone.
