FiveThirtyEight is predicting a near-sweep for Donald Trump, good news for John Kasich and bad news for Marco Rubio going into critical presidential primaries on Tuesday night.

Harry Enten, an analyst for Nate Silver’s numbers-driven site gives Trump a 96 percent chance of winning Florida's winner-take-all primary. As for Rubio, the Florida senator has just a 4 percent chance of taking his home state. Ted Cruz has less than 1 percent chance of winning, and Kasich doesn’t come into play. FiveThirtyEight predicts Trump will walk away with 41 percent of the state’s Republican vote, followed by Rubio with 28 percent, Cruz with 19 percent and Kasich with 10 percent.

Trump is likely to win Illinois with a 63 percent chance and North Carolina with a 89 percent, as well, FiveThirtyEight predicts.

In Ohio, FiveThirtyEight gives Kasich an 80 percent chance of winning his home state and its 66 delegates. Trump's odds are 19 percent, and both Cruz and Rubio fall under 1 percent. The site predicts Kasich taking 39 percent, Trump 33 percent, Cruz 20 percent and Rubio 6 percent of the vote.

FiveThirtyEight isn't issuing predictions for Missouri, due to the lack of polling but said the state may be Cruz’s best chance of getting a win on Tuesday night.
