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.
In Illinois, Trump gets the support of 34 percent of likely GOP primary voters, Cruz gets 25 percent, Kasich gets 21 percent and Rubio gets 16 percent.
But in Ohio, Kasich, the state's incumbent governor, holds a six-point lead over Trump, 39 percent to 33 percent - followed by Cruz at 19 percent and Rubio at 6 percent.

I live in Illinois. Not all of our delegates are awarded proportionally. During the primary, we’ll elect 54 delegates, by congressional district. The other 15 will be elected, statewide, during the Illinois Republican Convention, in May.
And now Cruz is toast everywhere so his votes will go to Donald in Ohio, Florida and Illinois. I think its over. Former Cruz supporters wouldn’t throw their vote to Kasich in Ohio or Rubio in Florida. Not a chance.
Are the districts WTA? Some states do sort of a proportional thing where if two candidates get more than 20% but less than 50% they are split 2 and 1.
The site I’m looking at just says proportional, but no details.

Conservatives are enraged like I have never seen in the thirty years I have been involved in politics. They certainly have cause.
Was visiting mother on Saturday. She had Fox News running in the other room. Kasick was speaking and they were running his comments on the screen. Headline: he has been “thinking” about job creation for years!
Well woop te do!!! I’m glad he’s been thinking about it. Stupid idiot should have been DOING something about it!
Think in one hand and crap in the other, see which one gets filled first!!
Kasich is closet dem. Always has been.
Looks like the GOPe plan is going to backfire, once again. Keeping Rubio and Kasich in race as firewall was dumb.
CDs in IL and MO are WTA. It really depends on the particular state at the end of the day.
Cruz and Trump will most likely both take delegates in IL and MO.
Interestingly enough, on the first WTA day, NC is strictly proportional. You need just 1.4% to get a delegate.
Very hard to beat a sitting governor in his home state. Especially when that sitting governor has to only focus on that one state and even has other candidates supporting his vote.
Trump will likely lose in Ohio but hopefully he can win everywhere else Tuesday.
I would LOVE it if Cruz was the reason Trump wins Ohio. Just like his screwing over Carson hurt him too.
Bwahahahahaha. Another WSJ/NBC poll. These things are a joke.
The NBC/WSJ poll is the worst poll of the season.
No, in Illinois, the primary isn’t WTA. At the top of the ballot, we vote for a presidential candidate. Under that, we vote for delegate. Each of the 18 congressional districts elects two or three delegates, depending upon how many Republicans live in that district. In my district, the 10th, about 35 people are running for three delegate seats. A voter, in that district, could vote for delegate candidates who support Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich, if he or she wanted to do that. Since we vote for the presidential candidate and the delegate candidates, in different races, it’s possible for a presidential candidate to get 90% of the vote and get only 10% of the delegates.
I assume you mean IL and NC, since as you say MO is WTA.
No, I meant MO. It’s winner take all by Congressional District with some additional delegates for statewide.
