GOP front-runner Donald Trump isn't very popular among New York City voters.
Come one, come all, to the greatest show in town: New York's presidential primaries, competitive for both parties for the first time in memory. New Yorkers are in for a circus leading up to the April 19 elections.
Hillary Clinton needs to win and win big in her adopted home state. She kicked off her primary rounds here in Harlem and then headed upstate, working her base of black voters, older women and moderates, while Mayor Bill de Blasio, who ran Clinton's first Senate campaign in 2000, was on the radio last week defending her environmental record.
Bernie Sanders will put up a fight on the ground, hoping high voter turnout will tilt the result his way. He rallied 18,500 people in the South Bronx last week, according to his campaign, and his field operation may get a shot in the arm from the state's activist Working Families Party, says veteran Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf.
The primary will test the Working Families' turnout machine, Sheinkopf said, and could hurt Clinton even if she wins. "If it's close, that's a real problem for her," he said. "This should be a walkaway."
Donald Trump's name may be plastered across Manhattan in oversize brass letters on ice rinks and apartment buildings, but Trump's appeal in cosmopolitan New York City is thin. He's likely to spend his time outside the city with upstate allies, including his early backer in Buffalo, real estate developer and 2010 gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino. The Amazing Donald holds a jaw-droppingly unfavorable rating of 74% among likely city voters....

“When was Trump supposedly going to run for governor?”
Look it up, and after you do that, look up how control-freak Trump did not want NYers to have a primary. Newsmax had a great story about it, so now you can bad mouth them as you did Ed Cox.
Ed Cox is the most moral GOP Chair that NY has had in many, many years.
Is there a cosmetics shortage in the Big Apple?
Feel the competitiveness!
LOLOLOL.
Just a guess on my part, but I think she prefers to be judged on the value of her work.
She kicked off her primary rounds here in Harlem and then headed upstate, working her base of black voters, older women and moderates, while Mayor Bill de Blasio, who ran Clinton’s first Senate campaign in 2000
sez it all f da white folk
I can assure you that 9 million people in the ‘metro’ area are NOT going to vote in a primary.
GUILTY!!!
Ed Cox? That dullard!
I must say as a lifelong NYer, I don’t remember Trump running for governor. Perhaps he floated the idea but who cares about that?
Yeah I hope it’s trump -Kasick -Cruz. I don’t want to have Cruz lose his third place result he has going across America. That would be a shame.
She resembles John Lennon without the glasses and is probably as whacked-out as he was.
What I noticed was the only Conservative, Cruz, was third.
It’s the New York values at work.
As for NY Hellary loves carpet as a bagger and muncher. NY’s blue collar types will mostly go for Trump but the liberal hacks and gibs me dat herds will flock to their queen. With The Commie Bern together they make a dynamic duo of a disaster. An ex-NY’er here in TX..
Sanders just had a huge rally in the Bronx, over 10,000 with more in overflow. Many are for him in Manhattan. Upstate is where he won’t do that well, although there is a healthy loathing for Hillary.
No, but most of it gets bought up by men.
i always thought proportional but i could be wrong.
I don’t think people see it that way here. Sanders may be a loon but hes likable. Deblasio is a giant A hole and generally disliked.
