Donald Trump holds a wide lead over Marco Rubio in Florida, but the GOP frontrunner is tied with John Kasich in Ohio, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released Monday.

The poll, which comes on the eve of several winner-take-all primaries on Tuesday, found Trump is leading Rubio in his home state by 24 percentage points. Forty-six percent of the state's Republican voters said they'd back the billionaire businessman and 22 percent said they'd support their senator. Fourteen percent said they would support Ted Cruz while 10 percent said they would back Kasich.

Trump leads Rubio among both men and women in Florida and also leads among those who identified themselves as members of the Tea Party and those who called themselves "moderate or liberal."

In Ohio, meanwhile, Trump is tied with Kasich where 38 percent of the state's GOP primary voters back both the the billionaire and their governor. Sixteen percent said they support Cruz and 3 percent back Rubio.

‘I wonder if that takes into account the independents who don’t normally vote in primaries but are doing so to cast their vote for Trump.”

I went to the their site and did not seen anything about crossover votes or independents. Hopefully those votes will give the edge to Trump.

How good a predictor have you been, Citizen Soldier?  I like your prediction, but what's your rationale?

My basic rationale is the movement of the polls and Kasich's increasing move to the left (amnesty, trade pacts, etc.). Extrapolated, I see about a three percent late shift to Trump.

As far as my prognosticating skills, I would say they are as good, or better, as most of the professional polls I see. In other words, we'll see when the votes are counted. LOL!!

Just remember the main Stream media wants and needs this to be a horse race so that they get all that extra advertising revenue

Hope you're right. And if you are, I'm a fan!

In fact, FR should have a little predictor pool going on to determine who the champion prognosticator is.

Drudge just refreshed, it now says in red at the top Kasich Wins Ohio.

I’m sure most of you already know Trump is ruling everywhere else, and Rubio suspended his campaign.
