Donald Trump heads into Tuesday's slate of primaries maintaining his large lead in Pennsylvania, and has a lead in Indiana, which holds its primary the following week.
Together this would keep Trump on a path to securing the nomination: If he does manage to win the bulk of delegates in Tuesday's round of primaries, and follows that up by a solid showing in Indiana -- which has been touted as the better chance for Cruz and Kasich to try to stop him -- then Trump would remain on pace to eventually clear the majority of 1,237 delegates later in June.
Trump leads Pennsylvania 49 percent to 26 percent for Cruz and 22 percent for Kasich. Trump leads Indiana 40 percent to 35 percent for Cruz, and 20 percent for Kasich.

5 points with MoE is a de facto tie, but I expect Cruz to underperform moving forward, I don’t think the polls have yet to fully register his powerful and growing “ick” factor.
Agree. He is mathematically eliminaTed so after the 5 state beatdown Tuesday and a week reminder voters that Ted is trying to “deny the will of the voters”, he will sink further. Also, I believe CA will be a bloodbath for Ted.
After next Tuesday’s wipeout Cruz will slip more
Trump poll ping
Trump up big in PA. Slowly regaining big mo in Indiana.
Great news.
Thanks for the ping re the good news!
Nice!
Illinois is close enough for fraud
Hope the people turn out and do the right thing and make their delegates do their will, also
Sorry, meant Indiana!
Wasn’t Indiana a ‘critical’ state just a week ago?
You know, a state where Cruz would win, and prove once and for all that Trump couldn’t make the nomination?
Once polling showed Trump might very well win, the state of Indiana is inconsequential.
Considering Indiana is a winner take most state, winning by even a small percentage can be huge.
Same with California.
If trump can pull over 50% we won’t have to listen to team Cruz whining that trump didn’t even get 50% and number 2 or 3 finisher or both should get the whole enchilada
Getting 50% in Pennsylvania would be great. Would put even more pressure on the delegates who have pledged to honor the vote.
You do realize the MOE has nothing to do with how much swing could be in the final results? All it means is if you took the poll 100 times you’d get that result 100 - MOE.. It’s a statistical construct it doesn’t tell you jack about how far outside that range the polls that wind up outside that range will be.
Cruz isn’t going to win IN, every Trump win will lower Cruz’s results as days go by.
Vote for the right delegates

3 Indiana polls in a row Cruz losing to Trump. Once they start to pile up like that Cruz is a goner.
Band Wagon rolls Tuesday.
They don't have any delegates shown for 1 or 2. Guess I and a friend will have to go with the ones that claim they'l vote for the winner.
The five states (RI, CT, PA, DE, MD) voting Tuesday night look to be complete blowouts for Trump - double digit margins in all five states and 80-90% of available delegates. This will put Trump 400+ delegates ahead of Cruz heading into IN and on a glide path to achieve the 1237 first ballot delegates needed.
Reality is settling in for the Cruz camp and the results on May 3 in IN should reflect that in the voting as more people start jumping on the Trump bandwagon.
