Trump Will Take New York
- Trump is dominating his only two remaining competitors in New York
- 65 percent of Republicans there backing him
- The results question the MSM's claims that he can’t get majorities, but can only get pluralities, in election results.
A new poll out on Thursday obliterates the latest mainstream media narrative confronting billionaire Donald Trump: That he can’t get majorities, but can only get pluralities, in election results.
The poll of New York state, conducted by Boston’s Emerson College, has Trump dominating his only two remaining competitors in the Empire State with 65 percent of Republicans there backing him. Only 12 percent back Sen. Ted Cruz Trump’s closest competitor, and just one percent support Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
The poll was conducted over three days, March 14 to March 16, during two days of which Sen. Marco Rubio was still in the race. Rubio dropped out on the evening of March 15 after an abysmal performance in his home state of Florida, where Trump walloped him by more than double digits. In the portion of the poll conducted before Rubio suspended his campaign, the pro-amnesty Floridian got just four percent in New York. Nineteen percent chose someone else or were undecided.
In a video accompanying the polling release, Emerson College Polling Society adviser Spencer Kimball called Trump’s towering over Cruz and Kasich a “commanding lead.”
In a direct matchup between just Cruz versus Trump, Trump still wins New York 69 percent to 25 percent—something that will probably make Cruz backers a bit uneasy, as they’ve been hoping that a head-to-head with Trump would be more beneficial to the Texas senator.
Trump’s favorables are also higher than Cruz’s or Kasich’s ratings. “Trump has the highest favorable ratings with GOP voters, 71%/23%, followed by Cruz at 52%/44% and Kasich at 54%/34%,” the polling release states. “Consistent with other primaries, Trump supporters are the most loyal, with 89% of those who see him favorably planning to cast their ballot for him. In contrast, only 21% of Republicans who have a favorable opinion of Cruz say they will vote for him.”
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the words of Emerson’s release, is also “trouncing” Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the Democratic primary. Clinton takes 71 percent compared to Sanders’ 23 percent, a 48-point lead for the former U.S. Senator from New York—who was elected after her time as First Lady to President Bill Clinton.
In a general election matchup, either Democrat wins easily against any of the remaining three Republicans—although Trump stands the best chance of beating either Clinton or Sanders in the Empire State. At this time, Clinton beats Trump 55 percent to 36 percent in New York,while Sanders beats Trump 53 percent to 36 percent. Clinton beats Cruz, meanwhile, 61 percent to 30 percent.
This massive lead for Trump in New York comes as the state primary looms around the corner from now on April 19. The delegate rich Empire State offers its 95 delegates proportionally, but if Trump wins this big, he could conceivably get an even bigger slice of the pie than many in the media think he will get.
Between now and then, Republicans in Arizona, Utah, and Wisconsin will make their presidential selections. Arizona’s 58 delegates are winner-take-all, while Utah’s 40 delegates are awarded proportionally. Wisconsin’s 42 delegates are awarded on a winner-take-all basis statewide and by congressional district.
Trump has a massive lead in Arizona polling, though no new polling has been done since Rubio dropped out. Both he and Cruz are hitting the trail there this weekend. Cruz is holding a press conference on the U.S. border with Mexico and several events throughout the state on Friday, while Trump is set to hold rallies over the weekend in Arizona. Previous Trump rallies in Phoenix have drawn thousands and thousands of people.
Arizona and Utah both vote this coming Tuesday, on March 22, while Wisconsin votes two weeks later on Tuesday, April 5. Then New York is two weeks after that.
It is currently mathematically impossible for Kasich to win the nomination outright before the convention, since he can’t get to 1,237 delegates at this point. For Cruz, it’s a serious uphill climb, and Trump seems to be coasting all the way there. If Trump pulls in just 42 percent of delegates from here on out, per a New York Times analysis published late Wednesday, he can hit the 1,237 mark easily by the convention.
Several Republicans, including Florida Gov. Rick Scott, are saying it’s now time for the GOP to coalesce behind Trump as the nominee heading into the general election.

Trump isn’t particularly popular in his home state.
Because he tell you where it at and to get rid Of all the bullshit In this Country
Trump will take New York, his home state. While full of liberals, there are also a lot of working middle class people in the state, especially outside of Manhattan and NY City. He will get far more union and black votes than anticipated.
Trump knows what he is doing
American people are fed up with Washington leaders who care nothing about the people but rather what they can do for themselves.
I honestly hope he DOES take New York and succeeds in securing the GOP Nomination!! I think he will be an easy Candidate for Hillary to BEAT!!!
America’s only hope!
John Kasich given thousands of dollars by George Soros of the dem groups move on.org etc. to stay in.
Ted Cruz, Goldman and Sach supported, His wife moved up to a $600,000 job Goldman and Sach, with Council of Foreign Affairs within a few weeks after Ted Cruz became a candidate!
I believe Donald Trump will take New York because he has done so much for the state! I live in Ohio and even though he didn’t get the delegates here I voted for him! If he makes it to the general election I will go out and let everyone know to vote for Donald J Trump for President 2016
Peoples choice! If the big donors try to contest the voters choice we will not vote in November General Election, They will lose any way.
They most likely and should be against open borders. They are prime target of terrorists.
because he’s a REAL New Yorker
He is amongst the people, not to mention, true NY’ers who informed enough to know that Trump is on a mission to bring us all back from the Tyranny that has ruled over us these past 16 years or so.
His family loves him, his butler loves him, he gives money to kind buss drivers, the jailed Marine that was in MX., he wants a wall (doable), he wants to stop the invasion of illegals and refugees, he wants to repeal BO care, he can make GOOD deals, he’s tough, considerate, and SMART, he loves America, he will appoint the BEST VP and Cabinet, he’s sure of himself and confident (won’t flinch, loves the VETS and Military, wants the 2nd Amendment upheld and protected, knows how to balance a budget and has (which know one in DC), doesn’t owe special favors and is not a bought man, has a very diverse backing of voters and people, and CAN win against a Democrat. Need I say more except I think he what we need as POTUS right now!
It is his home state, he puts millions of dollars of business into it each year and like running for president, he is not afraid of spending his own money instead of “begging” from the government.
Trump, even with his personality traits, is the only choice for a non establishment President that has the welfare of the nation at heart, not the personal welfare of a career politician. John
He was groomed for this job!
Because Donald Trump Is who we need, He Will Make AMERICA Great Again.
he’s . not telling us how he’s going to do all the things . he’s like sanders , to much talk and no substance.
He is the best Republican Candidate!
Trump is New York, Cruz, stated negative New York Values, what do you expect from someone born Canada…
Trump tells it like it is………and no one is going to BUY him or pressure him as others have been pressured to accommodate certain companies.
Same reason most everyone else in the country is for him, bring the factories home, deport all the immigrant lawbreakers, stop immigrant terrorists, WIN the war so we can have peace and prosperity, take care of our veterans and our homeless, NOT our enemies!
Because people who believe in God are praying for him.
Trump is the only one of all the candidates that we will vote for , and if the R.N.C. rigs the election and anoints someone else as President, then we will leave the Republican party, and rally to form an all inclusive American Party! Trump will be a write in vote!
