But if you add everyone else's number's to Rubio, he almost is up to Trump!

I think Marco Rubio is the real winner of this poll.

In all seriousness, first of all, at this point, with almost half the country having voted, national primary polls are more or less useless. If Trump really was at 53% nationally, he would be doing better in state polls and would be hitting 50+% in many states.

I THINK a national poll is likely to overstate Trump's support because so far his strongest areas have been the South and that is almost all in by now. It's kind of hard to tell though.

Well it doesn't matter how well you think Trump is going to do because he clearly can't get above his 35% ceiling.

True, but there are some big Northeastern states that are going to come in YUUUUUGEEEEE for TRUMP, like PA, NY, NJ and CT. Cruz is a terrible fit for the northeast. Trump is a unique candidate in that he is strong both in the South and Northeast.
