U.S. Presidential polls 2016 latest: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton out front still
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton continue to lead in their respective parties as they focus on their Michigan primaries, based on the latest poll by NBC News/WallStreet Journal/Marist.
The NBC/WSJ/Marist poll in Michigan, which was conducted from Mar. 1 to Mar. 3 among 2,229 registered voters, shows that Donald Trump got 41 percent of the likely Michigan primary voters. His Republican rival Ted Cruz got 22 percent, with Marco Rubio and John Kasich trailing behind with 17 percent and 13 percent respectively, Christian Today reports.
The results of the recent polls, as well as Super Saturday results, have prompted Trump to try to convince Rubio and Kasich to drop out of the presidential race. That way, he and Ted Cruz can focus the GOP race on one another.
So far, Trump has won in the Republican races in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Vermont, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Michigan.
Hillary Clinton has snagged the top spot among the Democratic presidential candidates with a 17 percent lead over Bernie Sanders. She has won in the states of Iowa, Nevada, Alabama, American Samoa, South Carolina, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and Virginia.
Clinton firmly believes that Democrats will win in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election.
"No matter who wins this Democratic nomination, I have not the slightest doubt that on our worst day we will be infinitely better than the Republicans on their best day," Clinton said.
Meanwhile, Clinton's probability of becoming the next U.S. President has increased by 5 percentage points after Super Tuesday compared to a few days before that. Trump's odds, on the other hand, have not changed despite his several victories, Forbes reports.
The U.S. Presidential election will be on Nov. 8.
