“New York Democrats know and really like Hillary Clinton and are very comfortable with Clinton”, he said.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton command huge leads in MI – races key to any hopes of catching the presidential front-runners, pollsters said.
On the GOP side, the results are close to the last poll which was conducted in January and had 31 percent for Trump, 19 for Cruz, 13 for Carson and 11 for Rubio.
If Kasich wins MI, he becomes the odds-on favorite to win the winner-take-all primary in his home state of OH on March 15, and could have a strong showing that night in IL as well.
The Queens-born Trump won the support of 45% of registered Republicans in the Empire State, according to the latest Siena Research Institute poll – a level more than double that of his next closest competitor. Maybe that’s not so surprising – 86 percent of Republicans in the poll said they had an unfavorable view of Clinton (versus 60 percent for Sanders).
But Trump is overwhelmingly seen as the candidate who’d favor “regular people” over big donors – seven in ten say so – while the other candidates get more mixed views on this measure.
The poll also shows New Yorkers would vote for either Clinton or her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, over any of the four Republicans still in the race.
Clinton is ahead of Sanders among African Americans (76 percent to 21 percent), those ages 45 and older (68 percent to 27 percent), Democrats (63 percent to 33 percent), women (61 percent to 36 percent), men (51 percent to 47 percent) and whites (49 percent to 48 percent). It involves more than 2,200 registered voters, 546 potential Democratic primary voters and 482 potential Republican primary voters.
On the Democratic side, both polls shows Clinton leading Sanders in the Wolverine state. Forty-three percent would prefer the party do all it can to keep Trump from the nomination, but 37 percent feel the party should rally behind Trump and look to win with him in November.
That ARG poll was conducted March 4 and March 5, and it shows Kasich doubling his mid-February rating of 17 percent. The margin of error was 4.1 percentage points, but it was about 6 percentage point for the primary poll questions.

“No matter who wins this Democratic nomination, I have not the slightest doubt that on our worst day we will be infinitely better than the Republicans on their best day”, the former First Lady stated, as reported by BBC.
