Is America getting any closer to electing the president by popular vote? “This is not a partisan issue. It looks like that now because of the current President,” says New Mexico State Sen_MimiStewart, adding “it’s only a matter of time.”
Americans reached a new high in support for having presidential elections based on the popular vote instead of the Electoral College, according to a new poll from the Public Religion Research Institute.
There has long been support for using the popular vote over the Electoral College, but this recent poll marks its highest level of support in recent years with two-thirds who said the US should use the popular vote and the other third who believe in the Electoral College. But there's a catch. Recent polling seriously depends on question wording. Only one poll since 2012 shows more people who would prefer the current Electoral College system to the"popular" one.
