Donald Trump has hit a new high among registered Republicans and now enjoys the support of 40 percent of GOP voters, a just-released
NBC News/Survey Monkey poll reveals.
Trailing the barnstorming billionaire developer in the far distance are:
- Sen. Marco Rubio, 21 percent
- Sen. Ted Cruz, 18 percent
- Dr. Ben Carson, 8 percent
- Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 7 percent.
Trump gained four points since last week's NBC News/Survey Monkey poll, with Rubio gaining five points and Cruz dropping one point.
The survey comes as voters in 11 states across the South and New England go to the polls in the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses.
A large majority of Republican voters — 71 percent — believe Trump will win the GOP presidential nomination hands down, the poll found.
The poll found among Democrats, Hillary Clinton holds a 10-point lead over Bernie Sanders, who has 41 percent support.
