Where are you getting this number? Every result I've seen on Google suggests different numbers but the consensus seems to be that Independents are at about 40%, Democrats mid-30% and Republicans mid-to-high 20%. 
That said, no matter which party is the majority in the Senate, it will represent less than half of the population.
As to solutions, I'm all in favor of doing away with the 2 party system though I don't know how we can do that.
