65% of U.S. adults say the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the presidency.

@CoffeeAddict while the electoral college is a mess, it'd require a convention to fix, which would be very messy and unclear on the outcomes. An incremental approach would be to get the Wyoming Rule passed which would make the popular vote + electoral vote match more by making the House actually apportioned to population. You'd have to have actual voting majority in both houses + the presidency, but its possible without the downsides of a convention.
