Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton remain overwhelming front-runners in races for 2016 nomination
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton remain the overwhelming national front-runners to win the 2016 nominations for each of their parties, a new poll released Tuesday showed.
According to the latest NBC News / Survey Monkey survey, Trump got the support of 38% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters nationally.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was his next closest competitor, with 21%, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came in third with 11% support.
No other candidate got more than 8%.
On the Democratic side, Clinton remained the leader, with 52% support nationally among Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, compared with 36% for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley got 1% support.
The results for both parties are unchanged from the poll NBC News and Survey Monkey released last week. (Source: NY Daily News)
