Less than a week until the first winner-take-all Republican primaries, Donald Trump is trouncing Marco Rubio on his home turf, according to a new Fox News poll.
In the race for the Republican nomination, Trump receives 43 percent among Florida likely GOP primary voters. Rubio is a distant second with 20 percent, closely followed by Ted Cruz at 16 percent. John Kasich comes in fourth with 10 percent.
Here is what’s driving the vote: a 63-percent majority of likely Republican primary voters feels “betrayed” by politicians in their party -- and they go heavily for Trump over Cruz (49-18 percent), with Rubio and Kasich way behind (12 percent and 11 percent respectively).
In addition, just 48 percent of Sunshine State GOPers approve of the job Rubio is doing as senator, while 38 percent disapprove. Among voters who approve of his performance, Rubio bests Trump by 12 points, yet he trails the Donald by a whopping 62 points among those who disapprove.

People with severe TDS care.
I thought he was catching fire and surging and whatnot.
Yeah, Trump’s up in the RCP but not by much.
I’mumrer the trump umbrella. I am cool with it. Without trump name Eric would be in some mail room working his way up if he could.
It amazes me that Trump can get up in front of the news, and tell bald-faced lies to millions, and the reaction of his groupies is "who cares?" If the man will go out of his way to lie about something as inconsequential as this, what makes you think he will tell the truth over something serious and potentially damaging to him?
Kingmaker?
Is that before or after Trump stomps his a$$ in FLA.
You Cruzbots are all the same.
Looking for someone else to do the heavy lifting, then, like buzzards,
swoop in to pick the remains.
He’s still better than Cruz/Bush.
I am still waits for this Cruz surge. Maybe by 2019.
Florida? I though we were talking about why Ohio would vote for Kasich?
If Kasich wins Ohio, he could have enough delegates to get some concessions for Ohio in exchange for putting Trump or Cruz over the top in an open convention. That is one reason many may vote for their own governor in Ohio over Trump.
Let me see if I can find that article from this morning.
Here: Trump up by 38 to 32

Well, it looks like about 2/3 of the voters in the primaries so far don’t see him as the best choice.
Here’s two where he’s up by 6. One was the one I just linked you to. This includes another.
I do see him trailing in another poll.

That makes sense since Donald doesn't drink. I like Trump's sons too. Both very pro 2A, in fact they changed his opinion on the assault weapon ban.
You don’t even know what this election is about. We are sick of Washington and any one associated with it. We are sick of apologizing for being Americans to foreign countries. We are sick of losing to ISIS. We are sick of Mexicans running through our country like they own the place. We are sick of accepting able bodied refugees. We are sick of the mounting debt. And much more. We see Cruz as not ready yet. First term senator. We see Cruz get up and filibuster but quit after 21hours and the very thing passes. At least with trump, people listen.
“If the man will go out of his way to lie”
He had it; now his son has it. BFD.
Well that's because no one else has your brilliance. We're just a buncha rubes who vote. Sorry to disappoint you but hopefully the confirmation of your superiority is some compensation.
If that is the case, then Cruz’s numbers of people who don’t want him are worse.
Yep Both those are listed on the RCP.
Trump’s win in Michigan will mean a lot on all those rustbelt states. So far Cruz and Rubio are non issues in Ohio.
I really want to see him win Ohio. He needs ever delegate he can get to avoid a convention floor food fight.
He lied about every product up there...
