A new poll out on Thursday obliterates the latest mainstream media narrative confronting billionaire Donald Trump: That he can’t get majorities, but can only get pluralities, in election results.
The poll of New York state, conducted by Boston’s Emerson College, has Trump dominating his only two remaining competitors in the Empire State with 65 percent of Republicans there backing him. Only 12 percent back Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Trump’s closest competitor, and just one percent support Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
The poll was conducted over three days, March 14 to March 16, during two days of which Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% was still in the race. Rubio dropped out on the evening of March 15 after an abysmal performance in his home state of Florida, where Trump walloped him by more than double digits.
In the portion of the poll conducted before Rubio suspended his campaign, the pro-amnesty Floridian got just four percent in New York. Nineteen percent chose someone else or were undecided.
Trump’s favorables are also higher than Cruz’s or Kasich’s ratings. “Trump has the highest favorable ratings with GOP voters, 71%/23%, followed by Cruz at 52%/44% and Kasich at 54%/34%,” the polling release states. “Consistent with other primaries, Trump supporters are the most loyal, with 89% of those who see him favorably planning to cast their ballot for him. In contrast, only 21% of Republicans who have a favorable opinion of Cruz say they will vote for him.”

It must be those evil New York values that struck back. Cruz is a schmuck!
And how about Kasich only getting 1% in the NY poll. LOL

Left in 1980 Upstate is like Detroit
Now if we could get Guiliani to run for governor...us Upstate New Yorkers might survive.
Reality smashes Gope Core/New Math!
Trump Ceiling Alert
Those who know him best. New Yorkets recognize a street fight when they see one
The number was rounded up.
MOTHER #####ing YES!!!!
I cant WAIT for the NYC RALLY!!!!!!
looking forward to the protestors too :)
sorry for the ####s. have to cut down on those.
a few months ago the rinos were in the top three in NY, I think. That’s why this is so great!!
What did the Cruzlims get in Texas? What did the Kasichistas get in Ohio?
Trump has peaked - he’s doomed.
Doomed, I say! Doomed!
DOOMED!
[No facts to back that up, but I made up for the lack with abundant enthusiasm, didn’t I?]
If Trump gets all the Romney states and wins FL and NY, how close to 270 are we ?
65%?That means a large part of upscale New York City suburbs like Westchester County has shown support for Trump, much like the tony suburb of Lake County outside Chicago gave him a majority. What happened to the media narrative that only the dispossesed and uneducated support Trump?
New Yorkets recognize a street fight[ER} when they see one
I think Trump will need to rent out Central Park for his NYC rally.
Trump will be fading anytime now..he should drop out/s
(snort!)
