65% Support National Popular Vote for President in Pew Poll


According to a new poll released by the Pew Research Center on September 25, 2023:

“Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults (65%) say the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the presidency."

Concerning support by Republicans, Pew reported:

“47% support moving to a popular vote system. GOP support for moving to a popular vote is the highest it’s been in recent years—up from 37% in 2021 and just 27% in the days following the 2016 election.”
“A majority of moderate and liberal Republicans (63%) say they would back the country moving to a popular vote for president.”
