58% of americans favor creation of third party

I've always found it ironic that the US always gets on China's case about not being democratic when, in fact, the only significant difference between China and the U.S. is that we have one more major political party than they do.  If it would force us into more pragmatically oriented solutions to our problems, I would favor major third and fourth and fifth parties.  But I don't really consider minor variations on already existing party themes to be candidates for major party status.  The TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party is, as far as I can tell, even for all its internal variety, basically a group of infighters in the Republican party, not a third party.
