Episode Description
A new Gallup survey shows 45 % of Americans now identify as independents, with younger voters - Gen Z and Millennials - leading the shift. Greg and Holly speak with Jason Perry, Director of The Hinckley Institute of Politics, to break down what’s driving the move away from both major parties, what's happening here in Utah,  and what Republicans, Democrats, and Utah’s own unaffiliated voters should be paying attention to. Listeners call in live to share if they have ditched their political party and why.
