On Tuesday, March 1—Super Tuesday—voters will go to the poll in 11 states to help determine the Democratic and Republican nominees for President. On the Democratic side, Tuesday looks like a coronation for Hillary Clinton; she holds overwhelming leads in all but three states. For Republicans, Donald Trump leads, with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz battling for every percentage point. Here is your state-by-state guide on what to look for as the results come in.
At Forbes, we will be live-blogging the results for each state voting on Super Tuesday; we will add links for each state below so you can monitor that state’s individual results page. In the meantime, here are some of the key questions for Tuesday night.
1. Will the Rubio-Cruz anti-Trump fusillade move the polls?
At the last debate, Rubio and Cruz lit into a visibly flustered Donald Trump, attacking his corrupt business deals, his hiring of illegal immigrants, and his policy disagreements with conservative. Both have kept it up since then. Most polls in the Super Tuesday states were conducted before these recent events. On Sunday, both candidates criticized Trump for refusing to criticize David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.
2. Will TV advertising move the polls?
Steven Shepard has tabulated where the GOP rivals—and allied super PACs—are spending their money. John Kasich, who is a distant fourth or fifth in most polls, is investing in Massachusetts and Vermont. Trump is spending more than $1.1 million on ads in Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, and Georgia, in descending order.
Cruz is spending nearly $900,000 in Georgia alone, and also in Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, and Arkansas. Rubio is in Tennessee, Virginia, Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama.
You can see a pattern here: the main three candidates are fighting hard in the six southern states.
