Oh, a very large majority feels similarly, which is why you need to stop, choose the "third party" you agree with, or find a candidate you would like to see in office and vote for him or her.
If everyone did that, well, most Democrats and Republicans would be out of office pretty damn fast.
If you don't believe me, look at Minnesota and Jesse Ventura. He became Governer because so many just became so frustrated with both parties and the smear campaigning left they felt neither candidate was deserving. Then you have this other guy, out of no where doing no smear campaigning, and going up and down the state in an RV getting in contact with the people.
Vote for someone you want to see in office, not against someone you'd rather not.

Except in the end, when it comes to the end, it's going to be about the same, except it will be a few people you might feel somewhat happy for voting for.
Of course, that will never happen. Democrats and Republicans would finally cross the aisle, work together, and stop the movement ASAP.
