A heavy majority of Americans are ready for election season to be over, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll.
70 percent of respondents stated that they cannot wait for the campaign to be over while only 26 percent said they look forward to its start next month with the Iowa caucuses. Among those living in battleground states, 75 percent said they are eager to see the end of the race.
In terms of party, the poll found what appears to be bipartisan agreement. 66 percent of Republicans, 75 percent of independents and 67 percent of Democrats are not looking forward to the 2012 campaign.
The poll was conducted between December 6th and 7th among 1,034 adults.
