Those hoping for a repeat of Wisconsin in New York tomorrow had better steel themselves for disappointment. Donald Trump’s dominating lead in the Empire State has remained constant across all polls, and the latest NBC 4/WSJ/Marist poll falls right into line with the consensus.
Donald Trump, 54%, leads Ohio Governor John Kasich, 25%, by 29 points among likely Republican primary voters in New York State. Texas Senator Ted Cruz receives 16% of the likely GOP electorate. Trump maintains a commanding lead over his Republican rivals. In the previous NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll of New York, Trump was ahead of Kasich by 33 points.
“Donald Trump is well-positioned to carry New York handily and is likely to acquire a sizeable number of New York’s delegates, as a result,” says Dr. Lee Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. 64% of likely Republican voters with a candidate preference strongly support their choice of candidate. Seven in ten Trump supporters, 70%, say they will not waver in their commitment to him.
Cruz’ NY fade leaves just Kasich to keep Trump from crossing the 50% threshold statewide and in each Congressional district to prevent a winner-take-all delegate allocation. Based on all the polling, that seems iffy, and the NBC 4/WSJ/Marist poll makes it look even iffier. Trump dominates downstate 58/24 over Kasich, but — surprise, surprise —
he’s dominating upstate by about the same number among likely Republican primary voters, 52/25, with Cruz only at 17%. Could the combined power of Kasich/Cruz hold Trump under 50% in a couple of CDs? Sure, but that’s only going to take a few delegates at best from the 95 at stake tomorrow night. If Trump ends up with less than 90, it will be a shock.

When even the limp wrists at Hotair admit things are looking dire for Cruz, you know it’ll be a massive landslide.
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
Cruz: C R A T E R I N G
The Cubanadian is going to get crushed in NY.
That won’t stop him.
His mission is to win/steal/finagle enough delegates to deny Trump 1237.
The Cheap Labor Express has already paid for an amnesty candidate.
Mission one is Stop Trump.
The great Fall of Felito.
New Yorkers hate Jesus and America!!!!!!
Uh oh. I’m actually concerned about New York now. NBC/WSJ has been so utterly discredited, that this bodes poorly for Trump.
Are you serious? How can you make such a blanket statement about millions of people?
The poster is trying to mock the Cruzloyalists (I think)
But, but, but, Cruz has been winning in landslides? /s
No, they just have a unique ability to see through the Bullshit that Cruz is shovelling.
Cruz folks ran the table on the cowdung states now time for where the people actually live. The butthurt will be great starting this week. Glide path to 1237 coming up.
Ted is AnoinTed! Siding against him is evil!
Trump wins New York in the general + The GOP want trump out of the race
On inauguration day, President Trump ought to drive the USS Iowa up the Potomac River for the festivities.
So if a 13-point victory is called a landslide, what do you call a 29-point defeat?
Sure hope The Great Empire State sends a shock wave across the country tomorrow night that signals the end of “Lyin’ Ted!!”
It’s just a dark day here in Maryland, we have the dubious disgrace of having CorrupTED visiting us in Baltimore County today. Last week, Kasich came in and ate some ice cream.
I hope we will have the honor of at least one Trump rally before we vote next week!!
