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.”

Worse.....he slipped off the peak
...onto the plateau
now is sliding down to the fjords he was pining for.
And they / that will filter over into Pennsylvania
Now there’s an idea
I’m pretty sure that he can flip Virginia and North Carolina too.
True thst
Cruz needs 90% of remaining delegates. Without NY and CA, he basically have no path to nomination
and his BIGGEST fans by far are out here!!!
300k Italians and Irish. The protesters’ WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

Sweet!
Oh yeah. Trump’s not very likely to win New York, but could easily flip enough other states.
And winner take all NJ will have a similar result. Fuggedaboudit. Time for Cruz to drop out and throw his support to Trump. The GOPe is dead.
Oh, what do you New Yorker’s know, right?
LOLOLOLOLOL.
THAT’S it ... thanx
Yes, but there is no way NY will reject Mrs. Bill; they like her!
Clinton will have to spend money in every state
I’m still hopping mad over what Cruz dared to say about NYers. Now I hope he eats crow until he grows sick from it.
“Cruz needs 90% of remaining delegates. Without NY and CA, he basically have no path to nomination”
That depends on how wicked and dirty the GOPe is willing to be (in the public eye that is). IF there’s a brokered convention me thinks they will toss every voter aside and put old Cruz in as nominee even if Trump is like 1 point short. I could be wrong, but based on what Fiorina and others are saying about Trump “not representing the values of the Republican Party”, I would put nothing past them.

Soon Trump goes to the North east and coastal Atlantic states and sweeps them all.
I will be calling on Cruz to realize he doesn’t have the majority delegates in 8 states, nor the votes for the nomination and he should drop out of the race.
Trump needs the delegates to F-over the hated GOP Rinos.
Cruz can help do that, he can blow up the people that hate him too and ruin their idea of a brokered convention.
I love your excitement...
