The front-runners of both major parties have double-digit leads in Maryland, which holds its primaries on April 26, according to
Public Policy Polling.
Here's how the three remaining Republicans rank in Maryland:
- Donald Trump: 43 percent
- John Kasich: 29 percent
- Ted Cruz: 24 percent
Even if Trump were facing only Cruz or only Kasich, he would maintain a sizable lead, according to the poll.
Trump's voters are far more loyal to him as well, with 90 percent of his supporters saying they are committed to him. Only 53 percent of Kasich supporters and 49 percent of Cruz supporters are firmly committed to their candidates.
"Trump's support in Maryland isn't at such a high level that it makes him unbeatable," according to Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling. "But if the opposition to him remains so closely divided between Kasich and Cruz, it's going to leave Trump pretty well positioned for a double digit win even if he can't get much over 40 percent."
Trump is winning in all areas of the state except for the Washington, D.C., where Kasich, a former member of Congress, leads.
On the Democratic side Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 2-1:
- Hillary Clinton: 58 percent
- Bernie Sanders: 33 percent
The poll talked to likely Republican and Democratic voters between April 15 and 17th and has margin of errors of 5.7 percent for the Republicans and 4.4 percent for the Democrats.
