Republican front-runner Donald Trump is expected to add to his column of GOP primary victories when voters take to the polls in Kansas City on March 5.

Already the winner of three straight primaries heading into Super Tuesday on March 1, where he is also heavily favored in several states, a new Fort Hays University poll shows Trump leading Texas senator Ted Cruz 26 to 14 percent in Kansas City.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio follows closely behind Cruz, the only candidate to knock off Trump in any primary heading into Super Tuesday, in third place at 13 percent.

Trump Leads Despite Rubio Being Backed by State's top GOP Leaders

Trump has sprinted out to his comfortable lead in the state despite Rubio having received the endorsement of most of the state's top GOP elected officials, including Gov. Sam Brownback, Sen. Pat Roberts and U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo.

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp has endorsed Cruz and no major political figure in the state has named Trump as their primary choice.

Recently, New Jersey Governor and onetime Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie went public with his endorsement of Trump, which some see as perhaps being significant enough to endear Trump to other factions of the party establishment.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey also now finds 80 percent of likely Republican voters are now convinced Trump will be the party's official nominee come general election season.

Clinton Also Comfortably Ahead in State

On the Democratic side, party front-runner Hillary Clinton leads Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders 33 to 23 percent among the state's likely voters, with 44 percent of voters indicating they remain undecided.

Polls also find the former Secretary of State leading in several other upcoming voting states, though Sanders holds a commanding lead in his home state and is also marginally ahead in Massachusetts.

Clinton also recently received the endorsement of former Kansas governor and Obama Cabinet member Kathleen Sebelius.

The Fort Hays State University poll was comprised of 440 voters and was conducted by the Docking Institute.
