Donald Trump’s lead in Florida appears to be growing based on the early polling numbers. Trump has a double digit lead over Marco Rubio in most of the early polls conducted within the last week.

A loss for Rubio in his home state of Florida likely signals the end of his chances to win the nomination. Florida’s 99 delegates will be awarded to the winner of Tuesday’s primary regardless of his margin of victory. It is unlike previous states that have divided the delegates proportionally based on the results.

Here’s a look at the latest Florida Republican pollls.
