The Bloomberg Politics poll shows Trump leading his Republican opponents in the conservative southeastern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Trump received the support of 37% of likely Republican presidential primary voters in those states, according to the poll, while both Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tied at 20%. The poll found that Trump also defeats Rubio in hypothetical one-on-one matchups against either Cruz or Rubio in the region. When voters were asked to choose between supporting Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, 45% chose Rubio compared to 40% selecting Cruz, with 15% unsure. The survey adds to the expectation that Trump will pick up hundreds of delegates for the GOP convention in the [upcoming Super Tuesday](http://time.com/4235230/why-trump-keeps-winning-and-winning/) voting contests, and it shows the businessman has been effective in [winning over Christian conservatives](http://time.com/4189587/donald-trump-christian-conservatives/). The poll, conducted online by Purple Strategies between Feb. 22 and Feb. 24, surveyed 1,254 Republican primary voters. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 2.8 percentage points. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4238053/donald-trump-super-tuesday-bible-belt-bloomberg/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4238053/donald-trump-super-tuesday-bible-belt-bloomberg/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Holds Strong Lead in Super Tuesday Bible Belt States","datePublished":"2016-02-25T22:49:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:23:55.887Z","description":"The poll shows Trump's strength even among conservative religious voters","url":"https://time.com/4238053/donald-trump-super-tuesday-bible-belt-bloomberg/","keywords":["Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltad35401b9a1cea02/69887f2cbc6cfc397d3dbe56/donald-trump-super-tuesday.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltad35401b9a1cea02/69887f2cbc6cfc397d3dbe56/donald-trump-super-tuesday.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump Hosts Nevada Caucus Night Watch Party In Las Vegas","caption":"Donald Trump Hosts Nevada Caucus Night Watch Party In Las Vegas","creditText":"Ethan Miller/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4238053/donald-trump-super-tuesday-bible-belt-bloomberg/","name":"Donald Trump Holds Strong Lead in Super Tuesday Bible Belt States"}}]}] ```
