Ted Cruz continues to hold a strong lead in Wisconsin and Bernie Sanders edges above Hillary Clinton there ahead of Tuesday's primary, according to new polls released Thursday.

The Fox Business Network poll has the Republican Texas senator with 42 percent, 10 percentage points ahead of Donald Trump, who is at 32 percent. Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 19 percent.


Cruz leads Trump by 19 percentage points among women, but the margin is tighter with men, with Cruz taking a 5-point lead.

Sanders has 48 percent of the vote compared to Clinton’s 43 percent. His lead is from young voters (the Vermont senator leads the former secretary of state by 47 percentage points with voters under 45) and men (19 points).

The telephone poll of 742 likely Republican primary voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The poll of 860 likely Democratic primary voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
