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%

Rubio is a Rino and Florida knows it
Once a Tea Party guy but the gang of eight got him
The media never brings up…… legal immigrants hate illegals
An open letter to Floridians, don’t let Cruz do to you what he did to Mainers.

Couldn't have had a better free ad
Just like Bruce Poliquin in Maine.
That scum ball lied to my dad’s pastor, we will never forgive him.
Apparently Floridians aren’t all that wild about Canadians.
Yep it seems lies follow him all over.
It can’t be his fault though as he has always worked in politics and thinks lying is acceptable to get what he wants.
I;m in FL and we are being bombed by the establishment helping Cruz
They see thousands of them during the winter.
“Apparently Floridians aren’t all that wild about Canadians.”
I understand that a lot of Floridians are ex-New Yorkers as well.
This is terrible news for Romney.
Floridians, especially the Tea Party supporters know Marco all to well. Except for a few with the sand still in their ears, he is dead to us. Trump was correct in saying he couldn’t get elected dog catcher, even with dragging around a truckload of Omaha Steaks.
Many are and a couple here did not like Cruz’s NY values statement and said they would never vote for him in the national election where as they said they will vote for Trump
We have to look at swing states.
VA Cruz came third and never won a single county.
FL Cruz again is in third thus far
OH Cruz again is in third thus far.
Not looking good at all.
Not sure about CO, but I ma betting CO does not go for Cruz either.
Trump is bringing out non arty voters and Reagan Dems blue collar working class.
cruz is not appealing except to his strongest supporters.
Maybe that is why he has only won two primary states , ne being his own with less than 50%
Sadly there are still people here who will vote for Rubio, because of who he is and the name.
Hope I'm wrong.
Most prolific in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. North Florida is a totally different animal. But in the panhandle, Yellow Dogs are still quite prolific for whatever reason. Maybe it is because they still get their TV on the giant parabolic antennas hanging off the sides of their houses.
JUST KIDDING! :)
Romney had a gut feeling he was going to win too.
From that link:
TED Cruz claims, in an ad he ran heavily in Maine, that Donald took widow Vera Coking’s old boarding house at 127 S. Columbia in Atlantic City and turned it into a parking lot for limousines.
The Problem for Ted and his followers is that the building is still there, she won in court, Donald never got the land.
Lying Ted lies again.
Survey USA had some of the worst polls going into the March 1 primaries. They had Trump and Cruz tied in Texas. Cruz won by 17. They had Trump beating Cruz by 29 in Georgia. The margin was 15.
