Metaphorical

1. This, frankly, is good news

Independents tend to be apathetic voters normally, one reason why, despite being a growing class relative to the established parties, they do not tend to have as big an impact as they could. When they are actively signing up to vote, however, it means that they are pissed, and more than likely that they are pissed at Trump. I think this is going to end up being a big shock to pollsters this time around, because indies also tend to be undersampled in polls.
