Polls: Trump Ahead in Florida, Illinois; Kasich Leads in Ohio by MARK MURRAY
OHIO: Kasich 39% to Trump 33%
Donald Trump leads the Republican presidential field in the March 15 primary states of Florida and Illinois, while John Kasich holds the edge in his home state of Ohio, according to three new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.
On the Democratic side, meanwhile, Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders in all three states, although she's just narrowly ahead in Illinois.
In Florida, Trump holds a 2-to-1 advantage among likely GOP voters over Marco Rubio, the state's U.S. senator, 43 percent to 22 percent. They're followed by Ted Cruz at 21 percent and John Kasich at 9 percent.

This is why you don't try to base your reality on polls. If you don't like a poll result, you just how many of each group you poll until you get the result you want.
Vote are real data, polling is just a guess.
Well stated. I do not see Trump taking Ohio but I believe MO is possible. By 50% I doubt. As for Ohio, sending prayers to the Big Guy that I’m wrong. :)
As for voting for Cruz, after this weekend with his remarks on Trump being responsible for disruptors and calling Trump voters low information, I won’t vote for him in the general. I will write in for my candidate and keep reminding myself God overcomes all including Hillary.
I want Ohio for Trump badly!
Visiting England at this time....very brave.
Visited the first and only time about 30 years ago. The ‘immigrants’ then were swarming the land side; though not near as violent nor feared. The country was beautiful, the history, rich, the people-friendly All will be changed soon enough (a sigh thru the tears)
If Kasick wins Ohio. You can bet everyone who loves Cruz now will drop in like a rock. The media will start saying its a Kasick trump race.
The immediate problem for Donald Trump isn’t that two-thirds of Americans have an unfavorable view of him, it’s that more than two-thirds of Republicans — 70% — have an unfavorable view of him.
According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Donald Trump is supported by 30% of Republicans.
What’s remarkable is that two months ago the same poll showed him at 33% support.
Which means that after two months of winning primaries and receiving very public gushing endorsements from Sarah Palin, Chris Christie, and Ben Carson, Donald Trump is worse off than he’s been at any time during his campaign.
Donald Trump can’t make America great again if he can’t make his own presidential candidacy great again.
But how is he going to do that? By attacking Ohio’s popular governor? By attacking Ted Cruz, the favorite of the Conservative and Evangelical voters who are critical to winning the White House for Republicans? Or maybe by holding a poorly attended rally in Cleveland where there are virtually no Republican voters, but whose Congressional Representative, Marcia Fudge of the Congressional Black Caucus, used the occasion of his speech to very publicly denounce Donald Trump as a racist?
Most “Republicans” are really Democrats, who just haven’t gone as far left as the Democratic party has.
If voters were interested in Ted, he’d be winning more then just caucus’. My gosh the entire south told him to go away.
Exactly. But don’t try convincing the Trumpkns who have elevated a reality star and con artist to the status of a deity.
Yes that might be true. We will see Tuesday, it will be interesting
Cruz could have blamed Obama who had invited BLM to the White House in late February, 2016. Cruz was a coward, a small minded dupe, a short sighted rube.
I am about ready for this to be over, anyway. I’d rather watch Hillary worry about losing to Bernie Sanders.
That is such utter BS!
Where do you get a confirmation that 65% of the electorate will not vote for him?
I am so sick of people using this fuzzy common core math. Trumps numbers have been higher higher in places where it counts. Cruz didnt even make second or third in some states.
With this math, 70 to 80% of people dont want CRUZ
now that is one race that is over
Help me to understand something. Cruz has hired Jeb’s financial team. He has Neil Bush running around as a surrogate to his campaign on national television. How can Cruz honestly beat the establishment when he is employing them?
They live there... they were visiting me here in FL.
Oh! Enjoy the visit :-))
Ed Rollins said this morning that Tuesday Rubio would lose Florida and Wednesday morning establishment Jeb Bush would endorse Cruz. Cruz is the consummate insider. Anyone that thinks he’s not has not been following his career.
Because FloriDUH, Ohio and Illinois are 1,2 and 3 for the highest delegate totals up for grabs on Tuesday.
