A poll released by CNN shows Donald Trump leading his Republican rivals by a wide margin a day ahead of Super Tuesday primary voting.
The poll shows Trump enjoying 49 percent of voters’ support, while Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz struggle to stay afloat at 16 and 15 percent respectively.
The poll also shows Hillary Clinton ahead of Bernie Sanders 55% to 38%.
Both frontrunners could be dinged by recent developments, though. On Sunday Trump retweeted a quote by Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and later refused to disavow the support of the Ku Kux Klan during an interview on CNN.
Trump now tells NBC’s “Today” that he was given a “very bad earpiece” for the interview and that he “disavowed David Duke all weekend long on Facebook and on Twitter.”
The State Department is also set to release the last batch of emails Clinton hosted on a homebrew server later today. The email scandal has dogged her campaign.
A dozen states will vote on who they want to run for president on Tuesday, as the primary race moves to a national stage.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
