Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have opened up double-digit leads in New York ahead of the state’s April 19 primary, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.
“The road to the convention goes through New York for both the Democrats and Republicans,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted this survey. “Right now, the front-runners look like they will erase recent setbacks and add significantly to their delegate margins.”
In the Republican race, Trump gets support from 54 percent of likely Republican primary voters – followed by John Kasich at 21 percent and Ted Cruz at 18 percent.
If Trump wins with more than 50 percent of the vote both statewide and in each of New York’s 27 congressional districts, he’ll walk away with all of the state’s 95 delegates – more than making up for what he lost last week in Colorado and Wisconsin.
