Primary voters say they would prefer any of businessman’s rivals in a one-
A new WSJ/NBC News poll released Tuesday shows Donald Trump with a three-point lead over Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz. In head-to-head matchups, however, Trump would lose to Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich, the poll finds.

Donald Trump holds a narrow, three-point lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows, but the data also reveal potential cracks in his support.
The New York businessman is the top choice of 30% of likely Republican primary voters nationally, the poll finds, followed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, at 27%.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 22%, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has 20%, according to the poll.
But the Journal/NBC News poll suggests that if the race ever becomes a one-on-one match between Mr. Trump and one of his three Republican rivals, his opponent would have the advantage. In hypothetical head-to-head matchups, Messrs. Cruz and Kasich both lead Mr. Trump, 57% to 40%. Mr. Rubio also beats the Republican front-runner, but by a slightly narrower margin of 56% to 43%.
Perhaps more troubling for Mr. Trump: He is the preferred pick among 36% of Republican primary voters in states that have already held nominating contests, but the field looks more jumbled in states that haven’t yet voted.
