Poll: R’s Oppose Brokered Convention

A new poll finds most Republican voters opposed to the idea of a brokered convention to select the party's 2012 presidential nominee. A USA Today/Gallup Poll released Monday finds that 66 percent of Republican and GOP-leaning independents surveyed are opposed to a brokered convention and would prefer one of the four candidates secure the nomination beforehand. 29 percent would not oppose a brokered convention. The poll also found that 57 percent of GOP voters don't believe the extended fight for the nomination is hurting the party/The Hill Ballot Box blog. More here.

Question: Would you like to see a brokered GOP National Convention? Why? Why not?
