Is the Ted Cruz-John Kasich partnership against GOP front-runner Donald Trump working in the race for the Republican nomination? It depends on the poll. 

A new poll, from the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics obtained by several outlets, found 45 percent of Indiana voters surveyed support Cruz –– a 16-point lead over Trump. 

But a different poll by The Wall Street Journal, NBC and the Marist Institute for Public Opinion has Trump holding almost that exact same commanding lead over Cruz. 

The Texas senator agreed to work together with fellow GOP candidate John Kasich in three states, including Indiana. 

Kasich is not actively campaigning in Indiana, though he did say he's not telling his supporters to vote for Cruz over him. 

Analysts predict a win by Cruz in Indiana could keep Trump from winning a majority of delegates before the Republican National Convention. Even Cruz has said the state is his last stand

Voting in Indiana's primary takes place Tuesday.
