Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton Out Front in CNN Poll of Florida

With less than a week to go until Florida holds its presidential primary, a new poll shows businessman Donald Trump and former U.S. Sec. of State Hillary Clinton hold solid leads in the Sunshine State. 

In a CNN/ORC poll that CNN reported on Wednesday morning, Trump takes 40 percent of Florida Republicans with U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in second at 24 percent. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is in third with 19 percent while Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, who is focusing on defending his home truf in Ohio next week, lags behind with 5 percent. 

Clinton has a large lead on the Democratic side with 61 percent followed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., with 34 percent. Most voters on both sides of the aisle say their minds are made up and they are firmly committed to backing their candidates. More can be read here. 

The Florida primary will be held on Tuesday.
