(WASHINGTON) — Most Republican voters think the candidate with the most delegates heading into the party’s convention in July should ultimately emerge as the GOP’s presidential nominee, regardless of whether he holds the majority of all delegates needed to secure the nomination, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. The survey finds Republicans are more likely to think of Donald Trump as a possible general election winner than either of his current GOP rivals. Here are some things to know about opinions on a contested convention and which Republican candidates could win a general election from the latest AP-GfK poll: ___ NOT LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVES According to the new poll, nearly 6 in 10 Republican voters — 58 percent — think the candidate with the most delegates after all the state contests are finished should be the nominee, even if he doesn’t have a clear majority. Just 40 percent think it would be acceptable for the delegates to pick a different candidate. That’s true even though slightly fewer have a favorable opinion of Trump, who will likely go into the convention with more delegates than any other candidate.
