Have you heard much about Elon Musk’s new third party, the ‘America Party’ in the news lately? Probably not, and there is a reason for that. No one is interested.
CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten recently looked at poll numbers for Elon and his new party and they are not pretty. To hear Enten tell it, the new party is ‘pretty much dead on arrival.’
Democrats and the media were excited about this at first because they believed it would hurt MAGA and the Republicans, but people on the right have been down this road before and remember how the story ends.
RedState reports:
Enten explained how Elon suffered a net drop in popularity from June 2016, when he was the most popular person in the poll with a +29 net favorable. “Down we go!” Enten said, as he explained the number in July 2025. Now Musk was at -37 on the net favorability scale. That was a 66-point drop.
Part of that is because of how the Democrats demonized him over DOGE — trying to characterize him as a Nazi was a dishonest and despicable attack. But Musk himself has also alienated many on the right with attacks on President Donald Trump. Enten detailed the drop Musk faced with Republicans, “Two thumbs down! A drop of 55 points.” He went from +61 to only +6 with Republicans.
In terms of the third party itself, only 25 percent were in favor, while 74 percent were opposed. Ross Perot tried to start a third party. He was more popular, but it failed.
It is “dead on arrival” — at least in terms of having a viable third party. But it could act as a spoiler in elections.

Jeez louise, Musk’s 3rd party looks close to dead on arrival.
He’s suffered a 66 pt drop in his net favorable since entering the politics scene. At a -37 pt net fav now!
With the GOP, he’s down 55 pts in just 4 months to just a +6 pt net fav.
74% oppose a Musk-led 3rd party! pic.twitter.com/vYGnXtV8oN

People on the right know that the most important thing right now is to keep the Democrats out of power. A third party would be the left’s key back into the House, the Senate, and maybe even the White House. That cannot happen.
