Trump has the support of 38% of Florida's likely GOP primary voters, compared to 30% who back Rubio, 17% for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and 10% for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. The snapshot of Florida comes before the state's crucial 99-delegate, winner-take-all primary set for March 15. It's a must-win for Rubio, who has fallen behind Trump and Cruz in the delegate race after taking only two of the first 20 Republican contests.

The poll undercuts the argument that Rubio could win if he faced Trump head-to-head: The real estate mogul leads a one-on-one race, 47% to 45%.

The poll shows Rubio leading among Floridians who have already cast their ballots in early voting, while Trump does better with those who haven't voted yet.

In his home state, that is pretty dour, especially after everyone in the Republican Party has pulled a Gulliver on Trump.

1. The gap was larger in states that he lost this past weekend

Combine that with the fact that Rubio's infrastructure in the state helps him with turnout, and he could win. The largest danger for Rubio is the effort that Cruz is reportedly putting in to block him (hoping that he'll drop out).

2. I agree, I think Cruz was aiming that right at Rubio in the north of the state

Might take some from Trump but more from Rubio overall

3. The total numbers out of Florida by both parties is going to be telling this year

Florida has an uncanny knack for being unpredictable
