(CNN) Donald Trump continues to hold a commanding lead in the Republican primary race, according to a national CBS News poll released Thursday.

Trump tops the field with 35% support, followed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz with 18% support and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in third place with 12%, per the survey.

The CBS poll comes one day after a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed rival Ted Cruz with a slight lead over Trump, 28% to 26%.

But the CBS spread among the top three candidates is consistent with most other recent national polling, which routinely shows Trump dominating the field, and Cruz and Rubio ensconced in second and third place, respectively.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich gained some national momentum from his strong second-place finish in the New Hampshire primary last week, according to the CBS poll, registering 11% support. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson finished fifth with 6%, ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in last place with 4%.
