Monmouth Poll: Trump's Lead Over Rubio in Florida Slips to 8 Points

Trump has energized infrequent or first-time voters in other states, while Sanders hasn't yet made good on his promise to bring new voters to the polls.

"If we Republicans were to choose Donald Trump as our nominee, I believe that the prospects for a safe and prosperous future would be greatly diminished - and I'm convinced Donald Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton", Romney reportedly says. In Maine and Louisiana he failed to even clear the threshold to get any delegates, and in Maine he finished fourth behind Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

A recent poll shows that Donald Trump is ahead of Sen.

Before yesterday's primaries, Trump was leading with 384 delegates.

"The Wall Street Journal/NBC poll was the phoniest, most disgusting poll I've ever seen, OK?" he said.

In addition to Mississippi, Republicans also vote on Tuesday in Hawaii, Idaho and MI vote Tuesday.

A March 7 poll from Monmouth University shows Rubio catching up to Trump in Florida.

Trump is perceived to be reeling from an onslaught of negative ads from establishment Republicans and a disappointing weekend when he finished second in delegates to Ted Cruz.

Pro-Ted Cruz super PAC hits Marco Rubio in new TV ads
The Mitchell Research/Fox 2 Detroit poll has Trump at 42 percent, Kasich 20 percent, Cruz 19 percent, and Rubio 9 percent. Trump has said he can afford to finance his own campaign, though he has received contributions.

Clinton slammed what she said was the "bigotry, bullying and bluster" of the Republican front-runner, while her rival pointed to polls indicating he was more likely to beat the billionaire. If he does not win his home state, he will either be forced to drop out or stay in the race only with the hope that his delegates combined with the other Trump opponents' would be enough to stop Trump at the Republican National Convention.

Two of the five major states that vote on Tuesday.

On the one hand, it provides the GOP with an opportunity to push the party to a different candidate and avoid the catastrophe for down-ballot races that many worry a Trump nomination will provoke. Also making analysis hard is the fact most of the contests Saturday are closed caucuses, which Trump, and Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, tend to do less well in.

While Clinton is now heavily favored to be the Democratic nominee, the party's primary calendar still features a series of contests that seem ripe for Bernie Sanders.

Puerto Rico Republicans will add their voices to the conversation on Sunday, as will Maine Democrats. To win the party's presidential nomination, she needs 2384 delegates of the total 4765.
