Republican front-runner Donald Trump captures 45% of the GOP vote in a three way race with Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, the latest sign that party voters are ready to accept the outspoken real estate developer as their 2016 nominee.

A new YouGov.com poll finds that in the three-way race, a potential situation after the first several primaries, Trump's support from those backing other candidates surges equally with Cruz and Rubio.

And the reason, according to the new survey? Republicans appear more interested in having a "strong" and "bold" leader than a "true conservative."

According to the poll, Trump wins strong and bold hands down, while Cruz is seen as the true conservative. Rubio wins the title of "typical politician" and "establishment candidate" in YouGov's test of candidate descriptions.

"Ted Cruz is seen as the 'true conservative' of the race, but a 'strong' Donald Trump maintains a wide lead," said the poll analysis.
