CBS: FL-Republicans would still prefer voting for Trump in primary than Rubio

[ApatheticAustrian]

CBS poll: If Florida Republicans could re-do the primary today they'd still take Trump over Rubio, 35% to 25%.

Despite trailing in the race, Florida’s Republicans would still vote to nominate Trump if given a chance to go back and vote in the primary again – a primary that marked a big victory for the Trump campaign. Today 35 percent would still go back and vote for Trump, well ahead of the 25 percent Marco Rubio would get today. So despite the loss of some endorsements and ongoing feuds with GOP leaders, the findings suggest that Trump voters – who have often said they did not pay much attention to the guidance of those party leaders – still feel Trump is closer to their positions than others who ran for the nomination this year.

Marco Rubio – who lost to Trump in that primary back in the spring – is, however, leading his Senate race by two points.

Yeah, Trump losing half of his lead (and nearly a quarter of his total vote, 11%/46%) in this state is terrible news for him/a candidate like him. At this rate, Trump is receiving less than a third of the national popular vote in the Republican primary (still good enough to win Florida, with its very old population, but...).

It actually cements the fact that a certain percentage of Trump supporters will remain Trump supporters after the campaign - if those Republicans, after all of this time, still support Trump over Rubio in Rubio's home state, that is an awful harbinger of where the base of the party wants to move post-election. I mean, who will run on the mantle of Trump in 2020? But what this says at this point in time are that the sane, neverTrump Republicans, like Kasich, are not going to have a snowball's chance in hell to win a primary in 2020.
