Donald Trump keeps his lead in winner-take-all Florida, at 44 percent over Ted Cruz's 24 percent and Marco Rubio's 21 percent. In Ohio, Governor John Kasich is tied with Trump 33 percent to 33 percent, in two of the big winner-take-all delegate prizes up on Tuesday.
In Florida, home-state Sen. Marco Rubio has been trying to get traction against Trump, but still trails. Sen. Ted Cruz has overtaken Rubio in Florida. In Illinois Trump also leads, 38 percent to 34 percent over Cruz, who is in striking distance, with Kasich back at 16 percent. The findings across the three states may suggests Cruz is emerging more generally in the minds of many non-Trump voters as the alternative to the frontrunner.
Turnout looks to be key for Trump's fortunes, and the polling shows it is his campaign in particular that may be bringing out more Republicans than usual. His backers are much more likely than others to say they are interested in the 2016 contests mainly because Trump is running.

I think Cruz’s attack on Trump after the Chicago nonsense will backfire, it’s too early to see a polling impact.
In Ohio a vote for Kasich is a wasted vote.
He has no hope of winning anything.
I pray Trump runs the board on Tuesday, maybe,just maybe the RNC prostitutes a lesson.
Sorry if denagrated prostitutes.
Another poll before the riot.
A little note for the armed protesters and those who pay them, hire them or encourage them:
I, like tens of thousands of other Honorably serving or having served Veterans of the United States Military, will fight for Donald and against those who seek his harm.
You have been warned!
All roads lead to OhiO.
Illinois is also a winner take all. And worth more than Ohio.
So if Trump takes Florida and either Illinois or Ohio. It’s all over. Since Cruz will be completely shut out.
The trick ballot in OH is designed to give Kasich some cheap votes. If you don’t vote in BOTH Trump boxes, the GOPe gets to award the other delegates to Kay-sick.
If Trump can win IL, he could carry OH one state over.
Guaranteed Trump wins: FL and NC. MO likely to go Trump because its demographics fall in line with the rest of the South.
But the big battle is OH. Not important for Trump but must-win for Kasich to stay in the race.
It’s worse than that even. A vote for Kasich is a vote for a brokered convention and that will be a disaster.
While I’m happy Trump is anead or tied, I find CBS polls to be near useless this go around. The numbers are usually inflated for ALL candidates. We’ll see how things shake out on Tuesday.
This poll is further evidence that if Rubio gets out before Tuesday, Cruz would almost certainly win IL! I also think he would win NC and MZ.
He hopes to win Ohio.
Except the hearts of his countrymen!
Kasich cannot win the nomination outright.
He won’t be the convention pick if there’s a contested nomination, because his number of delegates simply won’t make him a player.
IOW, he just cannot win.
A vote for him is a wasted vote. Better that these Ohioans vote for Cruz and at least give someone with a chance to win a shot at winning.
I’m supporting Trump, but throwing one’s vote away can’t even justify the gasoline to drive to the voting precinct.

Just the opposite! Late polls designed to discourage Trump voters.
Also, too soon after recent events at Trump rallies and opponents condemnation of Trump, to show up in these polls, which should be a plus for Trump and a negative for KaySICK and the Cuban boys.
Trump OWNED the news cycle because of these events. Trump sucked ALL the air out of every room that his opponents were in. (as usual only BIGLY, (big league)).
Trump was ON FIRE in all his rallies yesterday. A clinic in how to turn lemons (Friday night event) into lemonade (all day Saturday and beyond). Trump may not be a politician, but he sure is a political GENIUS!
GO TRUMP!
Trump has Florida wrapped up.
Rubio already has a ton of votes from early voting, so
Cruz being in second place is even better for Trump.
