Ohio Gov. John Kasich has run a different kind of campaign than his Republican counterparts.

"All of my lifetime I've worked with people in the other party. It doesn't mean I have to agree with them, but there's many things upon which we can reach agreement," Kasich said.

Some of his supporters' second choices aren't what you'd expect. Some Kasich supporters told Newsy they'd consider backing a Democrat if he drops out of the presidential race.

But a recent NBC News / Survey Monkey national poll found most Kasich supporters' second choice was Marco Rubio. Their third pick was Jeb Bush.
