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.”

Cruz? Please. The establishment isn’t going to let Cruz take a brokered convention.
They’ll put in someone like Bush, Romney, or Ryan.
Trump will easily win NYS, not Cruz and not the other guy with zero chances.
Woo hoo, can’t wait to attend a NYS Trump rally upstate!
I support Mr. Trump, but this is just stupid. Of course he’s going to get the majority of support in his own state.
Yet Kasich is all over the news saying he will be the nominee, even though it's a mathematical impossibility - so in other words, he's lying.
If Trump is not at 70% or better it means nothing! ( hyper sarc alert)
“Cruz? Please. The establishment isn’t going to let Cruz take a brokered convention.”
Guess this is where I”m quite confused. How in God’s name can they just pull someone out of thin air that clearly isn’t going to get the votes for their party? All 3 you mentioned have left a sour taste in the mouths of pretty, much everyone who isn’t part of the “elite establishment”.
Bada Bing - don't mess with New Yawkers.
Read a little further down the article. This poll shows Trump losing to Hillary by 18 points in New York.
Oh come on. Cruz has momentum. We’ve been told that for a month. Where have you been? Lol.
If Pataki can win statewide as a Republican, so can Trump. If fact, where is Pataki?
Too many hard drugs. Trump and Cruz combine for 2000 delegates and will control almost everything that happens at the convention. Convention drivel has always depended on the establishment making a strong showing, which ain’t happening.
Stop-Trump meetings are for the purpose of sabotaging the general election, and for the Rove-Diaz class to fleece big donors even more.
That’s it, 65% is his ceiling. That means 35% of republicans want someone other than Donald Trump /s
Yes and LOTS of money!
:)
More than 50 Percent Ahead of Ted Cruz50 percentage points but it's actually 500% (5 times) more.
LOLOL.
And served cold, raw and with feathers still on!
OK, I’m one of those silly people who want to believe the party I used to be a part of just MAY still have some substance :( They are showing themselves to be so much more crooked than I ever imagined and it saddens me terribly.
I hope Trump wins with the kind of landslide Reagan did (1st vote I cast after turning 18 was for him :) Then I will cheer for joy when I hear him yelling “You’re FIRED” over and over again to those who truly need to be!!
WOW!
GO TRUMP!!

This is yuge!!
Hello, New York!
Goodbye, GOPe!
And that he crawls on his knees to the voters upstate. He proudly took money from Manhattanites.
Name recognition. Cankles is polling 48 points over Uncle Freebie at 71%
