Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is leading two of his Republican presidential rivals in their home states, topping Sen. Marco Rubio in Florida and Gov. John Kasich in Ohio, new CNN/ORC polls show.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is far ahead of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in both states.




The results come less than a week from the March 15 contests in Florida and Ohio, as well as Illinois, North Carolina and Missouri. The primaries in 99-delegate Florida and 66-delegate Ohio are particularly critical for Republicans, since both are winner-take-all.
...................

On the Democratic side, Clinton leads Sanders 63% to 33% in Ohio and 61% to 34% in Florida. About 7 in 10 voters in each state say they have definitely decided whom to support.

In Florida, two-thirds of the electorate say they have definitely decided whom to support, including more than 8 in 10 Trump ................................

And in the general election, Clinton would start with an advantage over Trump in both states, leading in Florida and Ohio by 7 percentage points.

She tops Cruz by 9 in Ohio and runs 2 points ahead of Rubio there. In Florida, though, Rubio tops Clinton by 4, and she's down 1 in a matchup with Cruz.

The polls were conducted March 2-6. The Florida survey includes 1,014 adults, including 264 likely Democratic primary voters and 313 likely Republican primary voters. The Ohio poll includes 1,002 adults, including 294 likely Democratic primary voters and 359 likely Republican voters........

It's anybody's guess how accurate the OH poll is due to its open primary.

I think we are in for Michigan redux down there. Florida I am more confident about.

And Illinois, just to be sure, although I'm not so worried about that one.

Missouri, I'm not sure what to think, really. I tend to think it's in the same category as Michigan, but could be wrong. I don't really know the state, but the locale and a quick scan of the demographics say Bernie should be somewhat favored.
