Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton maintain their leads in their respective parties in the latest round of voting for their parties' presidential nominations for the upcoming U.S. elections.
According to the latest poll gathered by NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist in the primary in Michigan, both Trump and Clinton got two-digit leads in the percentage of votes in the latest rounds of presidential primary elections during Super Tuesday.
Trump, who recently survived weeklong intensive attacks from his competitors from the Republican party, managed to get 41 percent of likely primary voters in Michigan. His closest rival, Ted Cruz, only got 22 percent while Marco Rubio only received 17 percent and John Kasich got 13 percent of likely votes from Republican primary voters.
The result of the poll was conducted partially before Ben Carson declared that he was opting to end his Republican campaign. It was conducted between March 1 to March 3 with 2,229 registered voters.
Because of the latest poll result, Trump is trying to persuade Rubio to follow Carson's move and drop out of the Republican presidential race to make it a one-on-one fight between him and Cruz.
At the moment, Trump has succeeded in the GOP races in the states of New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Alabama, Arkansas, Vermont, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Michigan.
Meanwhile, Clinton has a 17 percent lead over her closest rival, Bernie Sanders, in the Democratic race after the Michigan polls. The former U.S. Secretary of State won in several states, including Iowa, Nevada, South Carolina, Alabama, American Samoa, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennesse, Texas, Virginia, and Louisiana over her only remaining competitor in the party.
While Clinton revealed that she was happy to top Sanders with a large margin, she still believes that the Democrats could likely win the U.S. presidential election no matter who wins in the nomination.
"No matter who wins this Democratic nomination, I have not the slightest doubt that on our worst day we will be infinitely better than the Republicans on their best day," the former First Lady stated, as reported by BBC.
The United States will conduct the presidential election on Nov. 8.
