Donald Trump is leading Marco Rubio in the Florida senator's home state by 8 percentage points, a Monmouth University poll out Monday shows.
Trump has the support of 38% of Florida's likely GOP primary voters, compared to 30% who back Rubio, 17% for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and 10% for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
The snapshot of Florida comes before the state's crucial 99-delegate, winner-take-all primary set for March 15.
It's a must-win for Rubio, who has fallen behind Trump and Cruz in the delegate race after taking only two of the first 20 Republican contests.
The poll undercuts the argument that Rubio could win if he faced Trump head-to-head: The real estate mogul leads a one-on-one race, 47% to 45%.

Good.
where is Cruz in this important swing state?
I can’t open the link.
Get those ads out Donald, and get some of the hundreds of satisfied Trump University students on the air to sing your praises.
I hope Rubio stays in, gets his a$$ beat and we never hear from the
amnesty pimp again.
17% for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
Anybody know if Cruz is piling on with anti-Rubio ads as threatened?
Pat Buchanan and Phyllis Schlafly also support Donald Trump.
Thank you
Seems Ted will come third in this swing state then.
Not good for the national election either. That would be two swing states he does not show appeal in.
POLLS ?
BAH !
HUMBUG !
“The poll shows Rubio leading among Floridians who have already cast their ballots in early voting, while Trump does better with those who haven’t voted yet.”
So much for the conventional wisdom that the opposite was the case.
Well, Duuhhh!
Should I be surprised?
Rubio is a RINO looser, even those in FL know it.
Considering the sudden large shifts that often happen in primary campaigns and the difficulty with polling caucuses, most polling has been surprisingly accurate this season.
A Poll is a snapshot in time, indicating a trend when compared with other polls. I’m speaking of the polls done honestly, there are a minority of crooked polls and out-of-whack polls, that’s to be expected. Those are easy to discern and discount. Any single poll can be way off, looking at a lot of polling is much more helpful.
I won’t be shocked if Rubio wins Florida. I expect the results to be closer than this poll.
A very cheering visual, thanks!
Steyn.
Genius.
It is going to be a close race.
