Yes, Trump May Get Under 50% in NY
Conservative Review ^ | 04/15/16 | Robert Eno

Posted on 04/15/2016 7:52:36 PM PDT by writer33

The conventional wisdom is that Donald Trump will win the New York primary with well over 50 percent and win nearly all of the Empire State’s 95 delegates this upcoming Tuesday. While this is certainly a possibility, there is also a chance, and not a far-fetched one that Trump will finish with under 50 percent of the vote. If that happens, it will signal a seismic shift in the race for the Republican nomination.

A look at recent polling makes it seem almost certain that Trump will finish with over 50 percent of the vote. The current New York Real Clear Politics average has the race at 53.4 percent Trump, 21.7 percent John Kasich, and 17.6 percent Ted Cruz. There are, on average, 7.3 percent undecided. That certainly seems like a large cushion for Trump.

There are warning signs for Trump, however. Some of them are reflected in the more recent polls, and others have to do with the laws of New York.

Another thing to consider is that polling may be overstating Trump’s support. In state after state, Trump’s support among registered Republicans has been lower than among Independents.

Yuge problem for a general election.

When his own kids admit they cannot vote for him you know things are going to be off for these results

The only way Trump comes in under 50% is with Diebold machines. There is absolutely no way New York goes with one of those other clowns for any level of support above 15%.

Heck, I thought Wisconsin was a seismic shift. Now the Trump bashers are trying to conjure up another one. Guess the Wisconsin seismic shift didn't have much staying power based on some recent polls. Or maybe it was just media and GOPe and Trump basher BS and nothing more.

LOL, and if he does he’ll be now worse that Cruz.

Another McNothin article filled with conjecture.

This is par for the course every few days before another primary or caucus.

The Optimus NY district breakdown implies a delegate count of:
Trump-75 - Kasich-18 - Cruz-02

“There is a very real possibility that hundreds of thousands of Trump fans will show up to the polls on Tuesday and be turned away, because they are not registered Republicans.” I can totally see this happening and then the bellyaching begins.

Cuckservative Review? I think the Huffington Post is more fair to Trump at this point.

Oh no! Trump might get only twice as many votes as Ted in NY. He will be finished.
