(KMJ) – A new poll released on the eve of two crucial primary votes in Ohio and Florida shows Donald Trump with a commanding lead among Republicans in California. And, after Tuesday, the Golden State will have the largest single remaining source of delegates on the path to the Party’s nomination for President.
When matched with his three other contenders: Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and Marco Rubio, Trump wins the “closed” California Republican primary with 38.3% of the GOP vote. That compares to 22.4% for Cruz, 19.7% for Kasich, and 10.1% for Rubio. Voters registering an “undecided” opinion were 9.6%.
Trump’s almost 16% advantage over Cruz is statistically significant and well above the margin of error of the poll, which is 4.8%.
The poll was commissioned by Landslide Communications. This new Landslide Communication’s California Poll of Republican Presidential Preferences of likely Republican voters in the 2016 primary election is the second such poll to be released.
