Donald Trump is carrying a commanding lead into Tuesday’s potentially decisive Indiana Republican primary, according to a new poll that gives him a 15-point edge.
A near majority of Hoosier Republicans, 49 per cent, back the business billionaire Trump. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is trailing with 34 per cent. Ohio Gov. John Kasich is far behind with 13 per cent.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey of likely GOP voters, conducted by Marist University’s Institute for Public Opinion, suggests a ringing Trump endorsement from basketball coaching legend Bobby Knight has moved the needle significantly.
A CBS News/YouGov poll published seven days ago had Trump lead hovering at just 5 percentage points. Just one week before that, Cruz led Trump by 16 points in a poll conducted by Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne.
‘We were doing really, really well in Indiana,’ Trump told a crowd in Terre Haute on Sunday, ‘but then a brought out Bobby Knight, and look at these polls! Like a rocket! It’s like a rocket ship.’
