GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump holds a 21-point lead over primary rival Ted Cruz, a new national poll finds.
A new NBC News/SurveyMonkey online tracking poll released Tuesday found Trump leading the Texas senator, 48 percent to 27 percent. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who gained 2 points since last week, follows with 18 percent.
When it comes to the possibility of a contested convention, the survey found that a majority of registered Republicans and those who lean Republican, 57 percent, believe that Trump should win the nomination if he wins a plurality of delegates, even if he fails to capture a majority of delegates.
The survey also shows 52 percent of those same voters are happy with a general election match-up between Trump and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, while 30 percent would consider a third party candidate.
The poll was conducted online March 21–27 and surveyed 6,521 adults, including 5,741 who say they’re registered voters.
