Florida is seen as one of the key battlegrounds in the race for the republican nomination for President in 2016.
This year the closed primary will take place on March 15 and 99 delegates are up for grabs. The fact that the state is determined as winner-take-all only serves to further underscore its importance in the election process.
So, who is in the lead? Well, according to polls Donald Trump has a notable advantage over nearest rival Marco Rubio, who is a Senator in Florida.
The RealClearPolitics Average has Trump on 39.8% compared to Rubio on 25%, Cruz comes in third at 17.6% and Kasich last with 8.3%.
Should these numbers hold for Trump in the final days before voting, then he would sweep the state and take a big step towards the nomination.
