As Donald Trump maintains his seemingly unbreakable lead in the Republican race, 56 percent of Republican voters now say they think he will receive the nomination, according to a national NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll released Tuesday. Prior to Trump's New Hampshire sweep, only 42 percent of voters felt Trump was a lock for the nomination. By comparison, just 22 percent of Republican voters think Ted Cruz will be the nominee, and only 10 percent said the same for Marco Rubio.
It is true that Trump fever doesn't look to be letting up: NBC News/SurveyMonkey put him at 38 percent nationally followed by Cruz with 18 percent, Rubio with 14 percent, and the rest of the candidates trailing in single-digits.
