Is that right? I didn’t realize that. However, I also saw a poll that 68% of Republicans felt the plurality winner and the delegate winner coming into the convention were good enough.
Now you have me wondering. Perhaps it was not a national poll. I will be more observant next time. Thx.
There have been several national polls asking the question of whether the nomination should go to the candidate who has a plurality of delegates going into the convention and it has received overwhelming support each time.
A Monmouth poll done on March 23 found that 54% supported the idea. By April 12 an AP poll found that support had risen to 58% and an NBC/WSJ poll on April 14 found that 62% supported it. Again, these were all national polls.
The electorate’s distaste for a contested convention is also evidenced by current polls in state after state where Cruz’s support is cratering, as is his support in every national poll. In fact, according to RCP, Cruz has not led in any poll, state or national, since April 4, his last winning poll before Wisconsin.
