Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz took aim at the front-runners of major parties at an Orlando rally Friday morning, just days ahead of Florida presidential primary.

With former GOP candidate Carly Fiorina at his side, Cruz told the thousands in attendance at Faith Assembly of God Church on Curry Ford Road how he would make the most difference in the White House.

"We need a president who knows what he's doing," Senator Cruz told a packed audience at Faith Assembly church.

For an hour, Cruz talked to Sean Hannity about how he is the only viable candidate for the presidency, painting not only Hillary Clinton — but also Donald Trump — as establishment candidates.

"Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the flip side of the same coin. They are Washington. They are power. They are big business. They are corruption," Cruz said.

Cruz's attack on Trump may have been strategic. As it stands, our exclusive poll shows Cruz in third place behind Trump and Rubio among likely primary voters.

Although it's unclear what role Fiorina will play in the near future, she did pledge her support.

"Ted Cruz has substance and solutions from which he has never strayed," Fiorina said.

Despite the exclusive poll numbers, thousands of Cruz fans waited for hours in the sun to hear him speak.

Barabara Nelen, who was first in line, said that if anything, the polls have just encouraged her to support Cruz that much more.

"Miracles happen, you know, stuff turns around," Nelen said. "It would be wonderful if Cruz could win Florida, because he's only a few delegates behind Trump right now, and that would bring him right up."

Others such as the Hendry family came out to see Cruz, because they are undecided.

"The one thing we are hoping to take away from this is just what Ted Cruz stands for," Sam Hendry said.

Those were the kinds of voters Cruz was hoping to reach with the rally, voters who Cruz says need someone like him, a candidate looking out for the "little guy."

"The problem is we have too much government. My belief is that we need less government, more freedom, less bureaucrats, more opportunities for you, and that's what I'll do as president."
