MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The fight is on for Florida, a winner take all state, with just three days to go until the primary election.
Here's where the Democratic presidential candidates stand in Florida: Hillary Clinton has 63 percent according to a Real Clear Politics poll, with Sanders trailing behind at 29 percent.
On the Republican side, Trump is in the lead with 41 percent, followed by Rubio at 24 percent.
Supporters for the Republican candidates were out campaigning, in their last minute push to take Florida.
Several leaders attended a GOP dinner Saturday night thrown by the Broward County Republican executive committee, including former presidential candidate Ben Carson. About 300 Republican supporters at the dinner were excited for the primary and November, looking ahead.
"I'm sure that he'll carry Florida," Trump supporter Harold Thistle said. "I don't like the fact that they're ganging up on Trump. I see now that Ted Cruz is asking for Rubio's voters and the whole establishment's doing everything they can to derail Trump," Thistle told CBS4 reporter Donna Rapado.
"I see the young people are out. It's the first time I've seen that," Linda Kliston, a college professor and Rubio supporter said. "People are talking about it. And I think Rubio can reach the young people very very strongly."
And Jaemi Levine, who supports Cruz said she hopes "we could bring back the elegance of Nancy Reagan back to the White House. And I think Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz are the most likely to succeed."
Speaking of Ted Cruz, his supporters made calls all day in Miami in their final push.
"I'm supporting him by making calls," explained volunteer Cristina Brito. "I'm talking to my friends and family, my neighborhood making sure and trying to convince everybody to vote for him."
Over in Westchester outside La Carreta on Bird Road, about 100 or so people showed support for their hometown candidate, Marco Rubio. They did it Miami-style -- pots and pans the music behind their chants of, "Marco! Marco! Marco!"
Earlier in the day, front-runner Donald Trump accused Rubio's campaign of voter fraud, tweeting: "early voting in Florida is very dishonest. Little Marco, his state chairman and their minions are working overtime to rig the vote."
Then Trump tweeted that his campaign was asking "law enforcement to check for dishonest early voting in Florida, on behalf of little Marco."
But Florida election officials pushed back against Trump's corruption allegations, saying they had not heard of any such problems and had received no formal complaints.
Rubio's senior advisor Alex Burgos also addressed the issue.
"Donald Trump is again making baseless attacks," Burgos told CBS4. "He thinks he can say what he wants and not face consequences. But the truth is that voters here can make him face consequences by voting Sunday and Election Day."
Florida's early voting ends Sunday night at 7 p.m.
