Several recently released polls have showed Trump’s support hovering just above 50% in the Empire State, which awards its 95 Republican delegates next Tuesday.

The Florida Democratic Party is expected to provide a list of delegate candidates in the next two weeks, said Martin County Democratic State Committeeman Dave Dew.
The campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders fought on Tuesday over which one was more credible, a volley that continued the acrimonious exchanges between the Democratic presidential candidates. The Guardian reports that at a rally on Monday in Irvine, California, Ted Cruz insinuated that he’d send Hillary Clinton to jail if he were elected president.
On the Republican side, the poll showed Trump with the support of 55% of likely Republican primary voters compared to Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 20% and Sen.
In the Baruch College/NY1 survey, Trump beat Kasich and Cruz by similar margins: 60-17 percent over the OH governor, and 60-14 percent over the Texan.
As she stumps Wednesday in the shadow of Ellis Island, aides said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will pledge the creation a federal office to coordinate the integration of immigrants, refugees and their families.
The Clinton campaign is going all-in in NY, hoping a sizeable win in Clinton’s adopted, delegate-rich home state will block Sanders from narrowing his delegate deficit and deal the fatal blow to his unexpectedly strong challenge for the nomination.
The loudest cheers came when he told supporters that Donald Trump would not become president.
Trump leads his rivals in every breakdown. I believe Bernie polls so well in putative head-to-head matchups because of his honesty and forthright nature, qualities that have helped him win so many elections as an independent in Vermont and that likely will carry him to the White House if he wins the nomination. It’s the buffer of more than 400 party officials and officeholders who’ve pledged their support to her as superdelegates to this year’s Democratic National Convention. In fact, his best showing among minority voters to date was in New Hampshire, which is one of the whitest states in the nation, both in attitude and in actual statistics: a whopping 94 percent of New Hampshire’s citizens are white. A total of thirty-eight delegates are at stake on the GOP side.
