UPDATE: Polls disagree on whether Cruz, Trump ahead in Indiana

As presidential candidates make their final push before Tuesday’s primary, one poll shows Sen. Ted Cruz has a sizable lead in Indiana over GOP rival Donald Trump. But another shows Donald Trump way out in front.

A poll of 400 likely voters—which was conducted over the last couple of weeks by the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne—showed Cruz at nearly 45 percent, compared with Donald Trump’s 29 percent.
 

Ohio Gov. John Kasich was at 13 percent, while 13 percent were undecided.

Meanwhile, an NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released Sunday shows Trump leading Cruz by 15 percentage points, 49 percent to 34 percent. The poll also shows Kasich at 13 percent.

The Marist poll also shows Trump has the advantage among many key demographic groups. He especially outdistances his opponents among likely Republican primary voters who self-identify as moderate or conservative, those who are over 45, without a college education, or who are men. Cruz does best among likely Republican primary voters who describe themselves as very conservative.
