According to the most recent data, 45 percent of American voters self-identify as independent of either the Republican or Democratic Party.

To better gauge where the broader electorate stands, IVN is conducting -- to the best of its knowledge -- the only presidential poll specifically for nonpartisan and independent-minded voters that incorporates approval voting, which allows participants to select as many candidates as they want.
