New York City’s jobless rate also ranges from a low of 5.1 percent in Manhattan to 8.1 percent in the Bronx.

The front-runners now hope to replicate their strong showings in NY in the cluster of Northeastern states next up on the primary calendar.
Trump wasted little campaign time, scheduling campaign stops in a trio of states Wednesday including Pennsylvania and Maryland. Her sole rival Senator Bernie Sanders has won 1151 delegates during the primary season and has support of just 38 super delegates. And if Sanders doesn’t leave the race, what is his backup plan and how does he force his agenda into the party’s platform at the convention?
Trump gets 62 percent of Tea Party members and leads among very conservative and somewhat conservative voters. With nearly all of the votes counted in New York, Clinton looks to win 139 delegates and Sanders 106.
“Sean, the only ones asking this question are the hardcore Donald Trump supporters”, Cruz said.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who finished last, performed worst in big cities, where he received 14.2 percent of the vote. John Kasich second with 28 percent and U.S. Sen. “If that drags out, that can help the Republican Party because you can still have a divided Democratic Party – given if it was a united Republican Party”.
The scale and the sweeping nature of Ms. Clinton’s victory in NY underscored the endurance of the Clinton-Democratic establishment and its ability to assemble diverse social and interest groups ranging from minority communities to women and blue-collar workers to Wall Street donors.
Trump basked in the glow of his victory at a rally in Indianapolis, where he drew several thousand people to a packed building at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. “There are five primaries next week and we think we are going to do well and we think we have a path to victory”, he insisted to reporters. “We expect we’re going to have an fantastic number of weeks because these are places, they’re in big trouble”, he said. He claimed at least 89 of the 95 delegates at stake. (Three more are not yet allocated.) The governor of OH still trails Florida Sen. A total 2,383 delegates are needed for nomination.
Trump and Hillary Clinton won their home-state primaries on Tuesday, solidifying their leads as frontrunners for their respective party presidential nominations.
On the Republican side, many party leaders are torn.
Listen up: Donald Trump has to campaign in the remaining states just as hard as he did in NY state.
The surveys were conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and television networks.
Cruz had previously called a contested convention likely and that it seemed the party was heading in that direction. Now the two front runners in their parties are looking to secure the nominations at their party conventions this summer.
Among Democrats, Clinton now has 1,893 delegates to Sanders’ 1,180.

But Trump, 69, toned down his divisive rhetoric Tuesday, declining to use his epithet “Lyin’ Ted” to belittle his rival, although he continued to take subdued digs at the “rigged” primary delegate system.
