Half of Americans believe the presidential nominating system that parties use to select their nominees is “rigged,” and more than two-thirds would want the process changed, according to the results of a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
More than 47 percent people said that they believe that the presidential nominating system is “rigged” against particular candidates, according to the poll results, while only 23 percent people appeared to place full confidence in the system. Twenty-three percent of the voters said that they were “unsure” about the credibility of the nominating system.
The results of this new poll come as calls to put the electoral nominating system under increasing scrutiny have gathered pace over the last few days. Allegations of a “rigged” party culture, coupled with constant murmurs of voter suppression in various parts of the country during this nominating season, have called into question the very credibility of the system, and as the current poll shows, this belief is held by a wide share of the American public.

They also need to throw out the Electoral College S*&*, everything else we vote on is decided by what gets the most votes wins.
More than half I hope!
Notice how since Trump has brought attention to the problems the popular vote has been mentioned a lot more.Mentioning us does not fix the problem because nothing has changed.Electoral votes don't idiot proof an election.
It's bought and paid for by special interests.
They key for everyone to focus on is we are FAR from being a republic, even further from being even a Democracy. We live in an Oligarchy so 4:00pm you realize it like every other American should. The system is broken and corruption for personal gain has become the standard in the political process.
The process is how we got Barrack Obama shoved down our throat twice! a nobody out of nowhere gets elected? he had no record, no past, and no birth certificate...go figure yeah it's crooked
Get rid of the delegates and electoral college and it will be fixed!!##
