GOP front-runner Donald Trump leads in the Rhode Island Republican primary race with 38 percent of likely voters, followed by John Kasich with 25 percent, Ted Cruz at 14 percent and 17 percent undecided, according to a Poll released Sunday by Brown University's Taubman Center.
Trump and Kasich are statistically tied among women at around 30 percent, but Trump holds a strong lead among men - 45 percent - compared to 19 percent for Kasich and 18 percent for Cruz. Voters age 65 and older strongly support Trump, at 47 percent, with 24 percent for Kasich and 12 percent for Cruz.
Among Republican primary voters 44 and younger, the race is a toss-up, almost equally split among the three candidates and the 26 percent who are still undecided although the sample size in these groups is very small.
