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.”

I like those ####s! Good idea, very colorful!
191+29+29 = 249 ... Answered my own question
####!!!
can’t do it downtown somewhere?
i’ll splurge for a cab :)
Close, but not enough.
The task is bigger than that.
Flipping just FL and NY still leaves the Democrat as the winner.
don’t want to offend the ladies.
but then, #### could mean anything. Nice. good. :)
Madison Square Garden would be the most likely venue—but it might not be big enough!
"Cruzlims." That's a keeper. Particularly when most of them sound like Baghdad Bob....
This morning I was in the coffee shop (CT) and the guy in front of me was pleasantly bantering with the owner about how to say “huge” — saying, you have to say it with a “y” — its YUUGE!!! Then they laughed and said, it’s going to be “YUUGE — when CT finally gets to vote Trump!” Of course I chimed in saying that I totally agree... what was even better was that the three behind me all said the same thing. We are so excited!! We cannot wait until it’s our turn at the end of April!!!
That's Romney EVs + NY +FL ... One more state
Now THAT’S the way to start off a Friday, GG!!
In the general, if Trumps gets the nomination, this puts NY into play and is one hell of a big game changer.
It puts quite a lot of the northeast into play. Add that to the SEC and some of the western states as well as border states and were looking at a landslide.
NY is not in play if Cruz gets the nod. Nor is FL.
I do not think Cruz can win the general.
Google sends me to all kinds of pundits explanations with five color charts and long lists with pictures of candidates .... but I can't find a list that just says state and date
anyone ?
No, the Barclay Center in Bk’lyn. An absolutely state of the art facility next to that crumbling, disgusting mess on 7th Avenue!
true!! it’s gonna be great. 100k trump fans, God knows how many protestor freaks. a million cops!!
i’ll have a nice buzz by the time it starts.
GREAT TIMES COMING!!!
Heck either, NH, WI, VA, NV, IW + FL and NY give Trump the election.
Brooklyn would be appropriate, with all of the Trump family’s former projects in Brooklyn and Queens.
We could always have it on Staten Island!
Easy for the Jersey folks to get there too!
The Deep South and the northeast combining to elect the Republican nominee, with additional help from several other states.
