Donald Trump Leads Cruz by 15 Points in Crucial Indiana Race

[RandySF]

Donald Trump holds a 15-point lead over Ted Cruz in the potentially decisive May 3 presidential primary race in Indiana, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.

Trump gets support from 49 percent of likely Republican primary voters — followed by Cruz at 34 percent and John Kasich at 13 percent. If that margin in Indiana holds on Tuesday, Trump would be on a glide path towards obtaining the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the Republican nomination on a first ballot at the GOP convention in July.

"In Indiana, Trump is positioned to corral all the [state's 57] delegates, which will be a big prize toward winning the nomination outright," says Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. "Clinton and Sanders are more likely to divide the delegate pool, which will do little to change the narrative on the Democratic side."

1. It's pretty much over. They must hold their collective noses and accept Trump as their nominee.

3. Damn

I was really hoping for a contested GOP convention, with rioting and smoke bombs and general chaos on the evening news.

4. Cruz should announce that he's going to attend the Indianapolis 400.

He does really like NASCAR, after all.
