Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton lead Michigan poll


Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump holds a 13-point lead over Ted Cruz in Michigan, according to a Monmouth University poll out Monday. Among likely Republican primary voters, Trump notched 36 percent support. Cruz earned 23, followed by John Kasich with 21 and Marco Rubio with 13.
That leaves Rubio under the 15 percent threshold candidates must reach to be eligible for earning the state's at-large delegates.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 55 percent to 42 percent. Michigan voters of both parties participate in primaries Tuesday.
