Poll: Trump dominates, Clinton-Sanders tied
Gage Skidmore
Donald Trump tops the ticket among likely Republican primary voters in Massachusetts, while former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just edges U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side, according to a poll conducted earlier this week.
Trump takes 40 percent of the Republican vote, according to the survey conducted by The MassINC Polling Group for WBUR. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are both tied for second place at 19 percent each, while U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz took 10 percent of the vote and Ben Carson trailed in last place at 5 percent.
Clinton has 49 percent over Sanders's 44 percent, but that lead is within the poll's 4.9 percent margin of error.
Bay Staters will head to the polls Tuesday along with voters in Georgia, Texas, Vermont and several other states that cumulatively offer the most delegates in one day so far in the presidential primary.
Trump heads into Super Tuesday following wins in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada after Cruz's victory in the Iowa caucuses. Clinton edged Sanders in Iowa and Nevada and is expected to win in South Carolina on Saturday.
