The real estate mogul leads with 34 percent support nationally, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) with 25 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) at 18 percent, and John Kasich rounding out the field with 13 percent, the poll results say. “Trump’s support has essentially remained unchanged for months,” the report released with the poll said. Both Cruz and Rubio defeat Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head scenario. Cruz easily defeats Trump head-to-head 54-41 percent. non-Cruz or Trump supporters prefer Cruz to Trump 72-17 percent. Among “very conservative voters,” Cruz takes down Trump 60-34 percent. Among white evangelicals, Cruz handles Trump 64-31 percent. Rubio also defeats Trump, but by smaller margins, 51-45 percent. Non-Rubio or Trump voters favor Rubio 69-23 percent. He, like Cruz, is favored by approximately 60% of women in a head-to-head with Trump. Only 51 percent of those surveyed felt that they would be satisfied with Trump’s nomination, and 52 percent said they view him favorably. Cruz has the highest net favorability rating at 65 percent. The poll also surveyed Democrat voters. It found that Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) nationally, 49-42 percent. By a 69-29 percent divide, American view the current political system as “dysfunctional,” according to the survey. Yet, only 21 percent are angry at the government. The ABC/WaPo poll sampled 1,000 adults nationwide.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Donald Trump leading the race to become the Republican nominee for President of the United States. However, if the field were to consolidate, the billionaire businessman would no longer be favored in a head-to-head situation, according to the survey.

Trump is winning. Wait until the people decide some winnter-take-all states such as CA (172), FL (99), NY (95), NJ (51), OH (63), PA (71), IL (69). Unless something very surprising happens, Rubio will be gone and Cruz will be barely visible in the rear view mirror. First or second loser may get a participation trophy, but that is about it.
Almost all the anti-Trumps are looking to Fl and Oh to change the primary landscape. Fl looks set to go Trump but Kasich is still leading in the Ohio polls, I think. But I wouldn't be surprised if Trump takes Oh.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Trump takes Oh. RCP indicates PPP shows Trump leads Kasich 38-35 (+3) in Ohio, and Quinnipiac shows Trump leads Kasich 31-26 (+5). It is very close, but Trump continues to hold a slight lead. Cruz shows as 15/21 and Rubio is 13/5. Rubio may well be gone after two single digit results tonight. Getting whomped in FL would be an embarrassment. If Rubio leaves, that would help Kasich.

I've read it could be a career-ender, at least to elected office. Presumably, appointed positions would still be available.
