Illinois Poll Republican GOP March 11 2016

As the republican nomination process rolls along, one of the key states yet to go to the polls is Illinois where 69 delegates are available in a winner-take-all contest.

According to new polls conducted within the last week billionaire mogul Donald Trump has a healthy lead in the state which votes on March 15.

The RealClearPolitics Average shows Trump is in a strong position with 32.7% support, followed by Marco Rubio with 18.7%, Cruz with 17.7% and finally Kasich with 13.3%.

Should the polls turn out to be right then it would be an important step for Trump in his attempt to secure the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the nomination.

Florida Poll GOP March 10 2016 Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich

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.

Results Republican Primaries Tuesday March 8 2016

On Tuesday it was another very good night for republican frontrunner Donald Trump who triumphed in  the states of Mississippi, Michigan and Hawaii while Texas Senator Ted Cruz posted a win in Idaho. In the all important delegate count Trump now stands at 458, Cruz at 359, Rubio at 151 and Kasich 54.

We seem to be no closer to predicting whether or not Trump will reach the magic count of 1,237 and various strategies have been floated over the last few days of how to deny him the nomination should he not reach that number when the convention rolls around.

Keeping the remaining 3 adversaries to Trump in the race until the very end would be one possible way to deny him an outright majority, last week Mitt Romney hinted at the idea of Ohio Republicans Voting for Kasich and Florida Republicans voting for Rubio, tactical voting in order to lower Trump`s possibilities.

Should Trump win the delegate count by a significant margin but not reach 1,237 then denying him the nomination could risk fragmenting the party, it would be a massive gamble.

Super Tuesday Republican Results March 1 2016

The big moment has finally arrived, Super Tuesday is the day in which the contests on both the Republican and Democrat sides to secure the nomination of the party really starts to be decided.

The clear front runners are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, at least according to polls. Trump leads in 8 of twelve states and if his numbers hold firm, then he will take a big step towards becoming the nominee. The interesting thing is that in certain states no reliable polling has been done for many months, so it remains to be seen how recent events may have effected public opinion in these areas.

On the democratic side former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in the ascendancy having vanquished Bernie Sanders in Nevada and South Carolina. Sanders who describes himself as a "Democratic Socialist" will have to put in a good showing in order to wrestle the momentum away from Clinton who is looking ever more like the democratic candidate in 2016.

Republican Polls Feb 28 2016

Poll Georgia GOP Super Tuesday March 1 2016

With just a few days left until "Super Tuesday" the race to become the republican nominee is heating up. With accusations and insults flying from one side to the other. Essentially it has become a three man race. Trump, Rubio and Cruz will battle it out in the remaining states.

According to the latest polls of the states that vote on March 1, Cruz has the lead in Arkansas and Texas, although in the latter his advantage has been dwindling in recent days as Trump enjoys a boost after his massive win in Nevada. Trump leads in all the remaining states, some by wide margins and others are closer. If Rubio doesn`t win a state on Super Tuesday it could be the end of the road for him.

Georgia is one of the states that votes on March 1 and the current polls make good reading for Trump fans.

Poll Texas GOP Republican February 2016

Super Tuesday is just around the corner and all eyes are on the polls of the potential republican candidates in order to see who will do best in the states that simultaneously vote on this day.

With regard to Texas the latest polls shows Texas Senator Ted Cruz with a commanding lead over Trump in the state. The RealClearPolitics average of polls indicates the Cruz has the support of 37.3% of voters whereas Trump only 28%.

With so many delegates at play in this state, Cruz will undoubtedly be looking to Texas in order to give a much needed boost to his campaign and claim a victory over businessman Donald Trump. Ever since Cruz`s triumph in Iowa he has not really got close to Trump and has had to concede victory in NH and South Carolina.

What do you think? Will Cruz take Texas or will Trump rally at the last moment with added momentum given his victory in South Carolina?

Here are the full Results of the RealClearPolitics Average of Polls

Ted Cruz           37.3%

Which States Vote on Super Tuesday 2016

Super Tuesday is seen as a landmark in the campaign for both the Democratic and Republican primaries in 2016, with so many delegates up for grabs, this day can literally make or break a campaign. A good showing by Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump could pretty much spell the end of any realistic challenge to their bids to become the nominees.

Should Donald Trump sweep up the majority of states it would be very difficult to imagine anyone reaching him and as for Hillary Clinton who already has a massive amount of superdelegates in her favor, Sanders needs a good day in order to keep his momentum going.

The states that vote on Super Tuesday are the following


Republican

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Wyoming.

Democrat

Alabama, American Samoa, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia.

Polls Virginia Republican Primaries February 2016

A poll conducted by Christopher Newport University shows Donald Trump with a lead of 6% in the state of Virginia. Trump is at 28% of support compared to Rubio with 22% who in turn is closely followed by Cruz with 19%.

Kasich and Carson are tied at 7% and Bush at 4% (The poll was conducted before Bush suspended his campaign) and most commentators think that Bush supporters are more likely to gravitate towards Rubio which could give him a few more vital percentage points and make for a very interesting battle between him and Trump in the state.

The poll was carried out between 2/3-2/14 with a relatively small sample size of 368 meaning the margin of error is 5.6 points.

Nevada Caucuses Results Feb 23 2016

The moment of truth has arrived for the voters in the great state of Nevada. It's their turn to cast their ballot and choose which candidate they would like to represent them as the republican nominee for the presidency in 2016.

The long campaign process has already been plagued with controversies and surprises. Jeb Bush, considered as the favored candidate for the GOP establishment has already fallen by the wayside. It would now appear to be the responsibility of Rubio to carry that particular mantle.

We are now effectively in a three way race between Trump, Cruz and Rubio for that nomination. Without doubt Donald Trump has the upper hand having swept the last two states, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The polls conducted beforehand were proved to be correct, although he obtained a slightly higher percentage than his polling would have suggested in NH and slightly lower in South Carolina.

The fact remains that according to the latest polls in Nevada, Trump is way out in front and unlikely to be caught. The latest surveys have him anywhere between 16-26% ahead.

Nevada is the last stop on the campaign trail prior to Super Tuesday, when 25% of delegates will be awarded.

South Carolina Republican Poll Results 20 February 2016

According to a poll conducted by NBC/WSJ Trump`s advantage in South Carolina has been cut to 5%. Down from 16% a month ago. Trump leads Cruz by 28-23 with Marco Rubio at 15% and Jeb Bush just behind at 13%, John Kasich and Ben Carson are tied at 9% each.

In a break down of different voter blocks there are clear tendancies, for example among voters that consider themselves to be "very conservative" Cruz leads Trump by 42-22, however "The Donald" continues to appeal to evangelical voters and holds an advantage 29-26 over the Texas Senator.

The sample size of the Poll is 1,227 Republicans and has a margin of error of 2.8%. It must be noted that most recent polls show Donald Trump with a double digit lead. According to Realclearpolitics an average of all the polls taken within the last week show the businessman with a lead of 14.8%.

Republican South Carolina Poll Feb 16 2016

A new Poll from South Carolina shows Trump maintaining a handsome lead over his rivals, obtaining an impressive 33%.

Rubio and Cruz are tied in second place with 14% each, Jeb Bush is just behind on 13%, Gov John Kasich continues to see a spike in support coming in at 10%, in what looks like a case of too little, too late.

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is last with 6%.

Trumps support base continues to look incredibly solid despite constant attacks by the media and other candidates, as we look ahead to the Nevada Caucuses where Trump also leads by double digits. If he does well on Super Tuesday then it could be all over.

The question is, can anyone stop Trump?

Republican Nevada Poll Primary February 2016

According to Realclearpolitics Donald Trump holds an impressive lead going into the Nevada Caucuses. In fact he has held a double digit lead since last July. 

The last reliable poll showed Trump with a 13 point lead over nearest rival Ted Cruz, although this was conducted almost two months ago and it remains to be seen how recent developments may have altered voter patterns.

One thing is clear, if the business Mogul wins in South Carolina he will have the wind in his sails and be looking to sweep through Nevada with yet another victory.

According to a recent CBS News Poll conducted online Donald Trump maintains his solid lead in South Carolina. This will be a worry for the other candidates, despite disparaging campaign ads and throwing everything possible at the business mogul, nothing has eroded his support base.

In fact according to the people surveyed Trumps lead has in fact widened, now polling 42% support compared with 20% for Cruz and 15% for Rubio.

Realclearpolitics has an average of recent polls and it shows Trump with a massive 20% lead, followed again by Cruz y Rubio.

One thing is sure, Trump is the man to beat in the first southern state to go to vote in the primaries, and Cruz has consolidated his position as the main challenger to the business mogul.

It must be said that South Carolina registered voters were surveyed and that the poll has a margin of error of 5.7%.

Finally we have the results of a new South Carolina poll for the republican primaries and it shows that not an awful lot has changed since january. 

While many commentators were eager to see what effect the Iowa and New Hampshire results would have upon the preferences in the vital state which will vote on February 20, it seems as though up until now the previous results have had little impact.

Trump maintains a significant lead over closest rival Ted Cruz, leading by 17% at 36 - 19. Rubio maintains himself in third place up 1 point at 15%. Jeb Bush climbed closer to Rubio moving from 9-11% while Kasich leaped from 1-9% after his second place finish in New Hampshire.

The tightening of the field will be music to the ears of Real Estate mogul Donald Trump who is the main benefactor of the split in opinion.
