Ohio Gov. John Kasich improved his standing among Republican voters nationwide, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll, but the Ohio governor continues to trail tour de force Donald Trump by a wide margin.

Trump holds a 2-to-1 lead over his nearest challenger, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Kasich is fourth.

Trump is polling at 39 percent, Rubio 19 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz 18 percent, Kasich 6 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Dr. Ben Carson are at 4 percent. Nine percent of voters are undecided.

The last Quinnipiac poll, released on Feb. 5, had Kasich with 3 percent.

The next Republican primary is Saturday in South Carolina, followed by the Nevada Caucus Feb. 23.
