Donald Trump maintains a modest lead over Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Ohio Republican presidential primary, according to a CNN poll released on Wednesday morning.

Among likely Republican voters, 41 percent supported Trump while 35 percent supported Kasich. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) polled at 15 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio polled at 7 percent.

Trump appears to be holding his lead, even as Kasich has closed the gap in recent polls. A recent Public Policy Polling poll showed Trump leading Kasich by just 3 points.

TPM’s PollTracker average shows Trump leading the Ohio race with 35.7 percent, followed by Kasich with 32.5 percent.

CNN/ORC surveyed 359 likely Republican voters March 2-6 with a margin of error plus or minus 5 percentage points.
