This NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll reports:

In the contest for the Republican presidential nomination, businessman Donald Trump, 54%, leads Ohio Governor John Kasich, 25%, by 29 points among likely Republican primary voters in New York State. Texas Senator Ted Cruz receives 16% of the likely GOP electorate. Trump maintains a commanding lead over his Republican rivals. In the previous NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll of New York, Trump was ahead of Kasich by 33 points.

"Donald Trump is well-positioned to carry New York handily and is likely to acquire a sizeable number of New York's delegates, as a result," says Dr. Lee Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

64% of likely Republican voters with a candidate preference strongly support their choice of candidate. Seven in ten Trump supporters, 70%, say they will not waver in their commitment to him.

Among likely Republican primary voters with a candidate preference, Kasich, 37%, is the most mentioned candidate as voters' second choice. Cruz follows with 30%, and Trump receives 14%.
