As voters head to the polls Tuesday, new polls show Marco Rubio trailing Donald Trump in Florida's Republican primary.

In the state's Democratic primary, front runner Hillary Clinton is expected to win over Bernie Sanders.

We discuss the latest polls and the political landscape in the Sunshine State with Dr. Will Miller, executive director of Institutional Analytics, Effectiveness, and Planning at Flagler College.

Also joining us are Meredith O'Malley Johnson, founder of the nonpartisan Jax Young Voters Coalition, and Keith Walters, board member of the coalition.

In this month's edition of the First Coast Connect Book Club, we speak with book blogger Stacey Goldring about author Pat Conroy's novel "The Water is Wide." Conroy passed away earlier this month.

We preview the upcoming 6th annual North Florida Genealogy Conference with chairperson Eileen Ward.

And Erin Thursby, executive director of Gastro Fest, joins us with a look at this weekend's event celebrating the Northeast Florida food scene.
