in the population, not a 50/50 split. I simplified, as a full espousal was not in scope for the overall, simple point

As the parties have become a bit more polarized towards the two extreme end of the spectrum (MUCH more true of their side, esp. in the thrall of an authoritarian leader, like now), this means there will be more and more who simply say neither party really represents them. The 'middle' is probably the biggest group overall.
