Donald Trump is looking strong in Michigan, with a 15 point lead over Marco Rubio.
Not far behind Rubio is Ted Cruz with 17% of the vote. The Cruz/Rubio dynamic is going to be interesting over the next couple of months, and I suspect it will come to a head on March 1st. Unless something wild happens, either Cruz, or Rubio, will probably drop out of the race in mid-March. While Rubio may be shut out of receiving any delegates due to not reaching Texas’ proportionality threshold of 20%, there is a decent chance he would win Florida outright on March 15th, which is a winner take all state. Trump and Cruz split the Texas delegates, Rubio takes all of Florida’s, and everything would come down to who has been doing better outside of their home state.

I thought Trump was leading significantly in Florida. Has that changed?
Florida Republican Presidential Primary

“I thought Trump was leading significantly in Florida. Has that changed?”
NO! Here are the RCP Florida Polls and the average is +16.7 for Trump with Rubio 3rd. I don’t see any way Rubio wins Florida, especially if Little Yebbie stays in because he will siphon off Rubio support.
At this point plan for a big surprise in Iowa where Trump “unexpectedly” surges hours before the open of the caucuses!
The msm will have to save face somehow.
| Poll | Date | Trump | Cruz | Rubio | Bush | Carson | Christie | Paul | Fiorina | Kasich | Huckabee | Graham | Santorum | Pataki | Spread | |
| RCP Average | 11/15 - 12/16 | 34.0 | 17.3 | 16.7 | 10.3 | 9.7 | 3.0 | 2.7 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | -- | -- | Trump +16.7 |
If two people were beating me in my own state, I’d take that as an omen.

Anything new here!
Is there a map out there with the polling for all the states?
So, when Rubio drops out we can all sing Rubio is throughbio.
Rubio was through when he threw in with the Gang of Eight.
Absolutely.
