Ted Cruz, Bill Clinton Attend Rallies in North Texas Monday

Ben Carson is polling at 10 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 6 perent. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.

There are sharper demographic splits among the Democratic electorate than on the Republican side.

The Tennessee polls were conducted February 22-25. He said it might take a “few days” or “weeks” before voters start to coalesce behind him, “maybe not in time for Tuesday” but “certainly in time for the winner-take-all states”. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is in a close third with 15 percent.

Rubio, now at No. 2, saw his support double within a month’s time – from 8 points to 16 points – but Trump’s still bests him by 33 points.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump and his two main rivals for the party nomination tore into each other with vicious and personal attacks ahead of Super Tuesday contests in a dozen states.

Trump regularly tells voters he’s self-funding his campaign, a claim he reiterated Friday night at a campaign rally in Oklahoma City, touting the unorthodox move as a sign that he won’t be beholden to big donors and special interests.

When CNN “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper noted that the party is telling Republican senators that they don’t have to go to the convention if Trump is the nominee and that even Florida Sen.

But Whitman’s statement said the New Jersey governor made his statement despite his own public misgivings about a Trump presidency.

Meanwhile in Perry, Georgia, Cruz said “Both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio want to keep the IRS… all the things that make the lobbyists in Washington get rich”.

Clinton is favored in most of the states voting Tuesday, but the Sanders campaign said it has a good shot at winning five of the states, especially ones outside of the southern states where black voters favoring Clinton comprise a large part of the Democratic electorate.

Clinton tops Sanders handily as the candidate who would be more effective at solving the country’s problems and can better handle the responsibilities of being commander-in-chief, but Sanders fares better than Clinton on honesty, 59 percent say he is more honest and trustworthy vs. 36 percent who say Clinton is.

Here is a live-blog of the latest news in the run-up to Super Tuesday. She and Sanders are essentially tied among white voters in each state polled for the Battleground Tracker. Gabbard served as a vice chairwoman of the DNC and is the fourth member of Congress to endorse Sanders over Hillary Clinton, the Hill writes.
