Getty Poll: Trump has big lead in Indiana

Donald Trump has a double-digit lead over Ted Cruz in Indiana just days before the state’s primary, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist poll.

Trump leads Cruz by 15 percentage points in Indiana, 49 percent to 34 percent. John Kasich is last at 13 percent.


Cruz is hoping for a win in the Hoosier State in order to continue preventing Trump from securing the GOP nomination before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. A win for Trump, however, would kick Cruz’s candidacy when it’s already down.

The Democratic race is a bit more competitive. Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders, 50 percent to 46 percent, among likely Indiana primary voters.

The poll, conducted April 26-28, included 645 likely Republican primary voters and 449 likely Democratic primary voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points and 4.6 percentage points, respectively.
