Super Tuesday, Trump Dangerously Heads For Victory

Donald Trump looked set to storm to a runaway lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination as 11 states prepared to vote on "Super Tuesday".
The prospect of Mr Trump becoming the party's nominee forced his opponents into increasingly frantic and toxic attacks amid warnings such a result could irrevocably split the conservative movement in America.
A CNN national poll released on Monday gave the maverick billionaire 49 per cent support, his highest-ever figure, and more than the other four remaining candidates combined.
Florida senator Marco Rubio trailed on 16 per cent, Texas senator Ted Cruz had 15 per cent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson 10 per cent, and Ohio governor John Kasich six per cent.
The poll appeared to dent hopes among senior anti-Trump figures in the Republican Party that he had a "ceiling" of support and would never be backed by a majority of voters.
In a sign of confidence Mr Trump decided to spend Super Tuesday campaigning in three states - Ohio, Kentucky and Florida - that are not even voting until later this month.
To win the Republican nomination Mr Trump needs 1,237 delegates. The delegates are awarded by the states according to the results of the popular vote. On Super Tuesday, a total of 595 delegates are awarded.
With four other states having already voted in February, Mr Trump had 82 delegates, Mr Cruz 17, and Mr Rubio 16.
On the eve of Super Tuesday, the biggest controversy facing Mr Trump was his repeated refusal during a televised interview to disavow support from David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
