Despite holding a wide lead among Republican New York voters in the race for the GOP nomination, Donald Trump would get crushed in a hypothetical general election matchup with Hillary Clinton in the state, a new poll released Monday shows.
Clinton would beat the outspoken real estate magnate in the Empire State 57% to 34%, the latest Siena Research Institute poll found.
In such a matchup, registered Democrats overwhelmingly support the former secretary of state (80% to 15%), and registered Republicans overwhelmingly support the Trump (71%, to 19%), while independent voters lean toward Clinton (45% to 38%), according to the poll.
The former secretary of state would also beat Marco Rubio (56% to 35%), Ted Cruz (58% to 33%) and John Kasich (49% to 42%), who would give Clinton her best competition, the poll of 800 registered New York voters showed.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also handily beat all of the Republican challengers, including Trump, in hypothetical general election matchups in the state, the poll found.
"Clinton leads Trump 57-34, almost identical to Sanders' 57-33 lead over Trump," pollster Steve Greenberg said in a statement. "Kasich has made the most headway in general election matchups against the Democrats. Sanders leads Kasich by 19 points, down from 30 points last month, and he comes within seven points of Clinton, 49-42."

Most Democrat hellholes are too deep to crawl out of.
Then he’s just another dem.
Of all the states that the Dems have destroyed with their policies, NY should be red as a horseshoe in a blacksmith’s fire....................
Actually MA comes out as the most liberal. The problem is that when you're down to low numbers of representatives (MA only has 9) this is no longer a good surrogate for measuring the population because of the winner take all nature of an election, so for ranking states smaller than NY and CA this probably isn't a good measure.
Sad fact is all the drones in NYC will line up for her.
It’s a cesspool that no modern Conservative or Trump like Liberal can drain.
She is going to have pneumonia and forced to drop out before this is over.
‘DANCING/CLAPPLING here’
Democrats do stay home when the stink gets so bad. Witness Dinkins-Giuliani.
Clinton stinks pretty damn bad.
The downstaters are the ones that control and if they stay home from the stink, Donald can get in.
Notice the Sierra Poll also has Commie Sanders beating the crap out of all GOP. Tells you who they sampled. They sampled downstate. They’re not necessarily enamored with Clinton.
NY is a Blue State? Who knew? /s
I'm ashamed.
“Do not believe them.”
All the national polls are consistent. And have been for the better part of 6 months.
Ronald Reagan carried NY twice, fairly easily.
It’s certainly true that a Movement Conservative cannot carry New York (or MA, or NJ, or PA, or IL, or any of the other states that Reagan did in 1980 and 84), but that’s because Reagan did not win those states based on conservatism.
Trumpers have convinced themselves a 50 state landslide win awaits them and that there is no way Trump can ever ever lose.
The polling says otherwise
I wonder how many know that Kasich isn't Kucinich?
The dems, GOPe, elites and MSM are scared $hitless of Trump, so they voice all these propaganda polls and statements to discourage people from voting for Trump. The more Trump flips them the bird, the more I feel like voting for him. I think that he will get a lot of Democrat votes from the union.
Thanks for mentioning :D
“I laugh when the Trump supports talk about winning NY/NJ.”
Not as loud as we laugh at Cruz supporters saying he will flip Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
“Thats right ... Trumps electoral history so far is that his ACTUAL vote UNDERperforms his polled support. NOT good.”
Considering he is running against dems, MSM, dimwitted and elite republicans, he’s doing pretty darn good. Everyone has tried to knock him out but he keeps going. No other candidate could have lasted this long. Surely not Cruz. Without Trump, there is no Cruz. The establishment, dems and msm would have already gotten rid of him long ago. Trump is the Rocky Balboa of presidential politics, try and give him a little respect.
There are not enough people downstate or upstate to overwhelm NYC.
I think you are discounting just how corrupt the NYC Dem machine is. It’s not as bad a Philly but it’s just as aggressive.
Trump is not winning NY. I live here, we know him.
I’ll vote for him if he gets the nod because I despise Hillary but there’s no love for him here.....or in NJ.....or in CT.
Trump’s not a Republican...he simply changed his party affiliation to benefit himself. Like Bloomberg. The former “Republican” mayor of NYC.
