Poll: End the Electoral College

Americans want to dump the Electoral College for a popular vote system by a margin of nearly 2-1 and for the first time a majority of Republicans back that change, a new poll Monday says.

Indeed, 62 percent of respondents supported a constitutional amendment that would make the presidential race contingent on who won the popular vote, according to a Gallup poll. Only 35 percent supported keeping the current Electoral College.
