Trump Leads Rubio in Florida- Even Head to Head (All 5 - T 45, R 25, C 10); (T vs. R T 54-R 38)
PPP Polling ^ | 2/25/2016 | PPP

Posted on 02/25/2016 9:06:16 PM PST by NYRepublican72

PPP's newest Florida Republican poll (conducted Wednesday and Thursday before the debate) finds Donald Trump dominant in the state. He's getting 45% to 25% for Marco Rubio, 10% for Ted Cruz, 8% for John Kasich, and 5% for Ben Carson.

The most remarkable thing in this poll though is what happens when you narrow the field down to just Trump and Rubio- Trump still leads by double digits at 52/38. Rubio does win over supporters of Cruz (56/25), Kasich (47/32), and Carson (64/21) in such a scenario. But Trump has such a big lead to begin with and picks up enough of the supporters of the also rans that it gives him the overall 14 point advantage.

Rubio's trouble doesn't end there. His approval rating as Senator has cratered to a 31/55 spread, compared to a much more evenly divided 41/44 when we last polled the state in September. Only 40% of voters in the state think he should continue with his campaign, compared to a 44% plurality who think it's time for him to drop out. And he narrowly trails both Hillary Clinton (45/43) and Bernie Sanders (44/42) in head to head general election match ups. Rubio's become quite unpopular at home over the course of his campaign.

There is a reason Rubio chose to run for President rather than for reelection. He is hated by FL Reps for his betrayal with the Gang of 8. Rubio would have been primaried and he would have lost.

If that doesn't sink Rubio in the primary, he'll lose his Senate seat in the general thanks to his record of non-attendance and general lack of any achievements as a Senator. So unless the RNC manages to shove him through as the GOP Presidential nominee in a brokered convention, Rubio will deservedly fade from the political scene in a couple of years like the empty suit Flavor of the Month that he's been.

Rubio’s big achievement was getting the Gang of 8 bill passed.in the Senate It passed the Senate 68-32 with 14 Reps voting for it including one of the authors, Rubio.

That’s right - Rubio did have one major achievement during the 5-6 days that he was actually present to vote in the Senate, and it was a big victory for liberalism.

apparently you do, since you took the effort to respond. I see you’re still trolling here. Seriously, get a real job - the 8 bucks an hour the DNC is giving you can’t possibly support your crack habit.

I will not vote for Trump under any circumstances and that goes for my wife, mom and dad - When will y’all sign the pledge.

Does this mean that "Gang of 8" Rubio is an acceptable candidate to you?

Im worried about who takes his seat.

As much as I despise the twerp, hes a lot better than Alan Grayson.

This prick had better think twice before giving up his seat to that animal.

“I will not vote for Trump under any circumstances and that goes for my wife, mom and dad”

Based on your posting history, you haven’t posted for months until you came back just a couple of weeks ago to start attacking Trump and insulting people at FR. Looks like typical Cruz Dirty Tricks Department Trollish behavior to me!

Rubio supporters need to read at this link and learn why most Floridians will NOT be supporting Marco Rubio! I knew from the day he threw his hat into the ring that he would not win our Sunshine State! Go Trump!!

You had no issues with me equating you with a Obama cultist, but apparently Cruz supporters, who by the way are far more conservative than Trump or Obama cultists, are worthless losers...

I wonder if our esteemed proprietor of this website, who has stated his primary preference for Cruz (and then Trump) will be happy to be called a ‘worthless loser’.

I have said over and over and over again that if Cruz is the nominee, I will happily support him. You have got a problem my friend. You spent the entire day here writing some of the most nasty stuff that I have ever read from anyone. You have been posting nonstop hatred day after day. If I was you I wouldn't be calling myself to the attention of the moderators by reporting others for their responses to you. Yesterday you even were even accused Jim Robinson of supporting the "phony rebellion" and said you wouldn't be contributing. "‎4‎/‎25‎/‎2012‎ ‎10‎:‎04‎:‎10‎ ‎AM · 47 of 1,378 JerseyRepub to DJ MacWoW Sorry Jim - you’re not getting anymore money from me if you continue to encourage the phony ‘rebellion’. good luck....

The reason I said you were trying to help the democrats destroy America is because you said in post #14 on this thread "I signed my pledge today - I will not vote for Trump under any circumstances and that goes for my wife, mom and dad - When will yÂ’all sign the pledge."

Your current tagline is, "53 posted on by JerseyRepub (I made my pledge - will never vote for the Donald - make your pledge today!)

I have eight grand children so far... If Hillary or Bernie were to win the election they will be nominating three liberals to the Supreme Court. If that happens my children and grandchildren will be living in a country that will be destroyed. And I will blame you and the others who sat our the election. You are being irresponsible and obviously do not appear to care about the future of our country.

My best friend is the strongest Cruz supporter you will ever meet, but he doesn't say he is going to sit out the election if Cruz doesn't get the nomination. You haven't been posting here in years... you show up two weeks ago and pollute every Trump thread with massive amounts of your garbage. You have got a problem.

When you mention Jim, you should ping him on it.

And if it came to him choosing between you and fireman15, I think he’d take fireman15 over you any day of the week.

Sorry Muddog, I felt Jim and the moderators already had enough stress and work going on without me adding to their work load. I shouldn’t have taken the bait from this guy and I am sorry about it.
