Rubio and Kasich desperately need to win in their home states of Florida and OH on March 15 to have any credible case for staying in the race.

Bonneville County Commissioner Roger Christensen, who attended the rally with his family, said he supports Rubio because he’s “genuine, sincere and honest”.
“While Sen. Rubio and Donald Trump have spent much of the campaign making personal attacks on one another, Cruz has laid out his substantial vision to make Americans’ lives better and to defeat Clinton in November”, Smith said.
Conant did point to one potential saving grace: Rubio’s home state of Florida and its upcoming March 15, winner-take-all contest.
In addition to the 19% of Republican voters who have already cast their ballots, 38% say they are completely decided on their candidate choice before they head to the polls.
Hillary Clinton now holds a 55% to 42% lead over Bernie Sanders in the Michigan Democratic primary. But they’re quickly running out of easy options to stop their momentum, and are increasingly weighing long-shot ideas such as a contested convention or a rallying around a yet-to-be-determined third-party candidate. Local network Fox 2 also found Trump on even stronger footing, with a 22% lead over both Kasich and Cruz. Trump boosters theorized that he’d “run the table” and amass such massive delegate wins that opponents would throw in the towel.
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, said Cruz is indeed “emerging” as the chief anti-Trump candidate.
Like the AIF poll from last week – the one that found the tightest Florida race – Tarrance identified likely voters based on their voting history listed in the state’s voter file.
Romney has stepped back into the spotlight at a moment of crisis and chaos for the Republican Party. The Trump campaign site also says the Trump plan will decrease wait times, improve healthcare outcomes, and facilitate a seamless transition from service into civilian life for our veterans. Even though Obama was racking up more delegate wins with each vote, Clinton still had the support and donor firepower to keep the race going.
Republican presidential candidate, businessman Donald Trump, second from left, gestures as Sen.
(CNN) – Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign is rolling out a new national advisory council that includes names from the George W. Bush administration as well as from Jeb Bush’s camp, the Florida senator’s team confirmed Monday.
MS has received relatively little attention from presidential candidates ahead of its primaries, with campaigns focusing time and resources in several other states.
Republican front-runner Donald Trump is defending a gesture he makes at his rallies at the request of supporters in which he raises his right hand in a salute that has been compared by some to the Nazi salute. Of those states, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia held primaries for both parties, Colorado and Minnesota had caucuses for both parties, Alaska and Wyoming are only holding Republican caucuses, and the territory of American Samoa is only holding a Democratic caucus. The Arizona Republic’s is taking aim specifically at Trump.
“The conservative movement is about the belief and fundamental principles of limited government and free enterprise”, Rubio said.
The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points. Trump loses conservatives against Cruz, especially those who say they are “very conservative”, and the two tie among moderate and liberal Republicans. Clinton has a 57% to 40% lead among voters who earn less than $50,000 a year, and a 54% to 42% lead among those who earn $50,000 or more. Of course, he later told reporters in Kansas that he would support Trump if he is the nominee.

“They can only campaign in so many places”, said Marvin King, a University of MS political science professor.
