Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump holds a 19-point lead over his closest challenger ahead of Tuesday’s primary in Michigan, according to a new poll.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released Sunday morning shows Trump with 41 percent support among likely Republican primary voters in the state. Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) comes in second place with 22 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio (Florida) has 17 percent, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 13 percent.
The new poll stands in contrast to an ARG poll released Saturday that showed Kasich ahead of Trump, 33 to 31 percent.
Trump’s lead in the new poll more closely reflects the RealClearPolitics average of Michigan polls, which shows billionaire businessman leading the Texas senator, 35.4 to 18.2 percent.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist pollsters found Trump leading among men, women, Republicans, independents, moderate GOP primary voters, conservatives, and evangelicals in Michigan.
Trump would lose in a hypothetical general election match-ups in Michigan to both Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) according to the poll.
Clinton would top Trump, 52 to 36 percent, while Sanders would win 56 to 34 percent.
Clinton holds a 17-point lead over Sen. Sanders according a NBC News/Wall Street Journal/ Marist poll. Clinton leads Sanders among Michigan’s African-Americans, those ages 45 and older, Democrats, women, men, and whites.
Sanders leads among the state’s independents and those under 45 years old.
