More than six in 10 Republican voters believe that, if no GOP presidential candidate wins a majority of delegates before the convention, the one with the most votes should be the party’s nominee, according to a new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

That’s compared with 33 percent of Republicans who say the nominee instead should be the candidate whom convention delegates think would be the party’s best standard-bearer…

Asked about the poll result on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, RNC head Reince Priebus noted that Trump has won a plurality – not a majority – of votes.

“If he was winning the majority of votes, he’d likely have the majority of delegates,” Priebus said. “But that’s not actually what’s happening. He’s winning a plurality of votes, and he has a plurality of delegates. And under the rules and under the concept of this country, a majority rules on everything.”
