Donald Trump is beating Marco Rubio in Florida
It's been a brutal primary season for Marco Rubio, who's managed just two wins so far: Minnesota and Puerto Rico. The race for the Republican Party nomination could get even more embarrassing for the Florida senator, if the Monmouth University poll for his home state released Monday is any indication.
The poll shows Donald Trump leading the way in Florida with 38 percent support among likely primary voters to Rubio's 30 percent. The Sunshine State's 99 delegates are up for grabs March 15 in a winner-take-all contest.
Ted Cruz and John Kasich trail with 17 percent and 10 percent, respectively. The poll's margin of error is 4.9 percentage points.
