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 state’s 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 poll’s 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%.
Trump’s 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%

10-4 Brother, 10-4.
Breaking News! Fox Business! Cruz campaign admitting they spread rumor on Rubio getting out. (Hawaii) CNN reporting that Cruz people are responsible for rumor.
This is back firing real bad. The first Machiavellian rule is “always Kill the Prince, never wound the Prince” “kill’ here is in the political context but they are very much like lightning hitting Godzilla. He just gets stronger and stronger.
Jeb and W’s brother joins Cruz team.

A year ago I thought Cruz could win. His performance in the primaries shows me how limited his appeal is.
THX, Vet.
1. North Korea, just yesterday. threating to attack us with nukes
2.The Iranian's with their newly acquired 150 billion dollars -can simply buy nukes now!
3. Mullah Obama has already begun flying in his preset goal of 170,000 Islamic Muslim rapefugees! How many of these 170,000 will eventually beat, rape and murder our fellow Americans. How many of these 170,000 will arrive here - and eventually pull out machine guns on us.
4. The illegal mexican horde currently here and the illegal mexican hordes always enroute here -taking millions upon millions of jobs from Americans (white, black and hispanic Americans), swarming our schools, bankrupting our hospitals, raping and murdering fellow Americans. [and all the very slimy democrat politicians welcoming them -as potential democrat voters]
I'm voting for Trump!
There is plenty of time for backlash in FLORIDA. There was no time for it in IOWA. Sadly, this Cruz cheating business may even help Rubio.
I’ve come to the conclusion that polls are all over the board.
Trump was way up in LA and didn’t do as well. He’s waaay up in MS, but who knows.
He waaay up in FL, then you have one that has Rubio just 8 pts down.
And you have a MI poll that has Kasich winning.
THe polls BS. Listening to RUSH is BS. Listening to FOX News and the other pundits is BS.
Until we can break this open, and get a comfortable lead, we’re going to be dealing with this negative stuff.
Checked the Democrat box, voted for Bernie in the open Michigan primary, want to see Hillary bitch-slapped, because, y'know, sweets to the sweet.
He should have. After that first debate, all he had to do was press him. Instead, he handed it right back. He sucked as a candidate, though. Hard to say if we would’ve been any better off.
After all, he has been anointed KING!
