According to Pew, independents are pretty evenly split between Republicans and Democrats (and always have been).
I suspect (and that's all it is - a suspicion) that what makes them Independents is pretty much what Thump said - there are things they like about both parties, and may be more willing to cast a nuanced vote, rather than just ticking all the 'R' or 'D' boxes.
