[A CNN/ORC poll released Monday](http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/29/politics/trump-clinton-dominant-as-super-tuesday-looms/index.html) found Trump had solidified his lead over his opponents in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, while Clinton is ahead nearly 20 points in the Democratic race. Trump has more supporters than his four opponents combined, with 49% of voters choosing the billionaire, 16% Marco Rubio, 15% Ted Cruz, 10% Ben Carson and 6% John Kasich—as the Republican field continues to narrow. Support for Trump seems to have engaged the GOP electorate, as nearly 8 in 10 of his supporters say they are more enthusiastic about voting this year, compared to 39% of all Republicans. For the Democrats, Clinton beats Bernie Sanders 55% to 38%, solidifying her front-runner status after an embattled January. Clinton’s lead is dependent on a large advantage over Sanders among women, older voters, Democrats and moderates, while men, younger voters, independents and liberals remain split between the two. The CNN/ORC poll was conducted Feb. 24-27 by telephone with a random sample of 1,001 voters nationally. The margin of error is plus or minus five points. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4241005/clinton-and-trump-ahead-before-super-tuesday-in-latest-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4241005/clinton-and-trump-ahead-before-super-tuesday-in-latest-poll/"},"headline":"Clinton and Trump Ahead Before Super Tuesday in Latest Poll","datePublished":"2016-02-29T12:56:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:46:27.617Z","description":"Trump has almost more support than his rivals combined","url":"https://time.com/4241005/clinton-and-trump-ahead-before-super-tuesday-in-latest-poll/","keywords":["2016 Election","Hillary Clinton","2016 Election","Polls","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2cc23940cdbc4409/69887f53cf40a85677c422b1/donald-trump-trump-university.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2cc23940cdbc4409/69887f53cf40a85677c422b1/donald-trump-trump-university.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"donald trump trump university","caption":"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 26, 2016.","creditText":"Tom Pennington—2016 Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4241005/clinton-and-trump-ahead-before-super-tuesday-in-latest-poll/","name":"Clinton and Trump Ahead Before Super Tuesday in Latest Poll"}}]}] ```
