Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has a commanding lead over his GOP rivals in a new Florida Decides poll by Central Florida cable outlets News 13 and News 9. Both channels are owned by Brighthouse.
Trump has 42% support of who those are likely to or have already voted early in person or by absentee ballot for the Sunshine states March 15 presidential primary.
Florida native Marco Rubio trails with 22% followed by Ted Cruz with 17%, John Kascih with 10%, and other at 3%.
A further indicator of trouble for Rubio in the poll is the undecided vote is only 5%.
Trump is also the only candidate of the top three Republicans to beat leading Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, 45% to 44%. However, all three head-to-head results were within the polls 2.3% margin of error.
The survey of Florida likely and actual Republican presidential primary voters had 937 participants with a margin of error of 3.3% and was conducted by SurveyUSA from March 4 though March 6.
Clinton is routing Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary in Florida according to the poll, 61% to 30%.
Trumps lead among GOP voters is commanding across all demographic groups in the poll. He has between 40% and 44% support among men and women and all age groups.
Trump also dominates across the board in education and income groups: High school 52%, some college 41%, 4 year college 41%; less than $40K 48%, $40K to $80K 44% and over $80K 39%.
A Monmouth University poll released Monday showed Trump with only an eight point lead over Rubio, however that poll was taken of 403 likely voters and had a margin of error of 4.9%

The Florida Tea Parties elected lil marco and he stabbed us in the back....its payback time marco!
With more government tax confiscation coming up, support for Trump will continue to climb.
Victory and vengeance!
Same lie as ‘Carson is dropping out’ and the lastest, ‘Rubio is dropping out.’
Nobody knows Marco better than fellow Floridians.
That may be. I am not impressed with the truth and veracity of Cruz. If it is done in his name,it is on him personally.
Victory and Vengeance
I’ve given up on Rush. He;’s just repeating the same old tired lies and talking points.
On Neil Cavuto they were discussing the Robo calling of Mitt and the Cruz representative just popped out with “do you want a First Lady that’s posed nude? And one that’s a foreigner? And one who’s married to someone who’s been married three times?”
Neil said , are you saying she’s not fit to be First Lady?
Cruz lady ignored the question by Neil and started in on sher description of Heidi Cruz.
I am guilty of screeming at the TV then.
This is what Cruz voters are not understanding.
the swing states decide.
VA Cruz came third and never won a county
FL Cruz is in third place again.
OH Trump winning and Cruz again in third place.
I will wait for CO, but I cannot see Cruz winning that either.
NC maybe.
Either way it shows why Cruz is so desperate to get Rubio out of the race as Cruz does not have a path now his caucuses are over.
I am sure ME folk are not that conservative or religious and yet they go against NH, VT voters, nah don’t see it.
As you say precincts report in and then nothing for hours, then they tell us who won!
The Gang of Seven set Little Marco up from the getgo. Even naming themselves “Gang”. What politician is foolish enough to sign on to that? They may as well have called themselves “the DC Mafia”. But they gave Little Marco a “little” power and shazam he was hooked!
Cruz staffer said that about Trumps wife?
That is disgusting, how low can these people go in this campaign.
GOOD MORNING manc, be back later today!!!
Hi how you are well and ready for tonight
“Lying Ted lies again.”
There IS that, but a couple of points.
It was a city government board that sued Coking. Trump was just one on that board.
The parking structure was NOT for Trumps casino but for all local business.
The house is no longer standing. Carl Icahn bought it at auction and leveled it.
Heh. Unintended consequences for Mitt and the GOPe.
I think Cruz personally picks his team to be as low as him. Cuvato was very surprised at her remarks. I couldn’t believe myself at the hate she threw out. Think if Trump’s young son had heard this? Disgraceful!
“The Florida Tea Parties elected lil marco and he stabbed us in the back....its payback time marco!”
This has been the problem with the Tea Party from the outset. They have not had an adquate mechanism to vet people they support. The Tea Party has been a great concept, but it hasn’t delivered us “real conservatives” for office very often.
Turned Rush off for the third time today. He’s gotten one minute of my time and that’s enough. Gosh, one has to ask how much APPLE pays him? It’s Apple Apple,Apple!
I think with the cruz family and staff they want this at all costs and think it is their;’s
