Fourteen delegates are allocated to the statewide winner, while the remaining 81 are divided up by winner of congressional districts, three per district.
Trump already leads the race with 743 delegates, to Cruz’s 545 and Kasich’s 141. Trump needs 1,237 delegates to clinch the nomination and avoid a contested convention.
The poll has a 5.8 percent margin of error.
