Marco Rubio falls to 3rd in CBS News/YouGov poll

Marco Rubio

With just two days until the March 15 Republican primary, Donald Trump continues to hold a commanding lead in the Sunshine State.

According to a new CBS News/YouGov survey of likely Republican primary voters, Trump is at 44 percent. Ted Cruz is in second with 24 percent, followed by Marco Rubio with 21 percent. John Kasich rounds out the Republican field with 9 percent.

The survey found 14 percent of Republicans said they might change their mind before they cast their ballot. However, more than 1.1 million Republicans have already voted in the state’s winner-take-all GOP primary.

Rubio has long said he would win his home state, but most polls show the Florida Republican trailing Trump. The CBS News/YouGov survey found 45 percent of Republican primary voters said Rubio was not prepared to be president.

The survey found that 45 percent of Republican primary voters said Republicans should get behind Trump and try to win in November if the New York businessman wins additional March primaries.

The CBS News/YouGov Internet survey has a margin of error of 4.8 percent.

    Cruz is a liar, Rubio is a crook and Kaisch is not for the average person. Trump has integrity and is not taking payoffs like the three “Thug supporters.”

    Trump wil NOT be president, Ted Cruz will be our next president despite the GOP wishes.
    They want a puppet the can run,bc the GOP and the bureaucrats in Washington want your money. Think about that before you vote.
    Do you want someone to work for you,or take from you…

      I will vote for Cruz if he is our nominee. I am supporting Trump, but I would not have any problem with voting for Ted if he beats out Trump in the primary election. I use to have much respect for Rubio but not any more. He is too willing to change his demeanor, message, and faith when ever he seems to think it will benefit him.
