Arizona Republican Poll GOP March 21 2016

Arizona goes to the polls on March 22 and as a winner-take-all state, it is of vital importance.

Given the state of play in the republican race, the 58 delegates available in Arizona could go a long way towards deciding the final outcome.

Often at this stage of a campaign most of the republican establishment figures will have thrown their support behind one candidate in particular and the outcome will be a forgone conclusion. This time however, given that the favorite and current frontrunner, businessman Donald Trump is such a polarizing candidate, many in the party are actually plotting in order to deny him the nomination.

The RealClearPolitics average of polls indicates the following percentages in Arizona

Donald Trump   34%
Ted Cruz          21%
John Kasich     12.5%

Should these numbers materialize on the day of the election then Trump will make off with the 58 delegates and be one step closer to the 1,237 that he requires in order to secure the nomination outright. We will have to wait and see.

Ohio Republican Poll GOP March 12 2016

Ohio will vote on March 15 in what is seen as a vital contest within the race for the republican nomination.

According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls it shows a very tight battle between Trump and Kasich, who is the current governor. Trump is at 36.5% almost tied with Kasich on 34%. Cruz and Rubio have little chance of making an impact, at 16.3% and 7% respectively.

The format of the distribution of delegates is winner-take-all, making the battle between Trump and Kasich all the more significant. Should Kasich tip Trump then it could arrest his momentum somewhat and raise the hopes of those who are hoping for a brokered convention in order to wrestle the nomination away from the business mogul.

Inversely, should Trump take Ohio as well as Florida then it would strengthen his position massively.

Poll Florida Republican GOP March 11 2016

If these numbers end up being true on March 15, the day in which Florida goes to polls alongside 4 other states, then it looks like it will be a happy day in the Trump camp. 

Trump needs 1,237 delegates to be sure of winning the nomination and avoid a contested convention. 

Illinois Poll Republican GOP March 11 2016

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%.
