Donald Trump dominates the Old Dominion, earning the support of 41% of likely GOP primary voters there. Marco Rubio is currently in second place at 27%, followed by Ted Cruz (14%), John Kasich (7%), and Ben Carson (7%).
Male voters give Trump (49%) a strong advantage over Rubio (23%) and Cruz (15%), while women more narrowly prefer to Trump (33%) to Rubio (30%). Trump leads among nearly every other demographic group, though, with some of his strongest support coming from voters who have only a high school education (54%).
"Trump said he loves the poorly educated and apparently they love him back," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
Just over one-third (36%) of likely Republican primary voters say that they are completely decided on their candidate choice just days before Tuesday's election. Another 40% have a strong preference but are still open to considering other candidates. One-in-four either have only a slight preference (12%) or are really undecided (12%). More than half (53%) of Trump voters, though, say their vote choice is locked in.

Trump has “won” one state (South Carolina)
and no one else has “won” any.
