NBC Poll: Trump, Clinton Hold Sizable Leads in New York
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have opened up double-digit leads in New York ahead of the state's April 19 primary, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll. "The road to the convention goes through New York for both the Democrats and Republicans," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted this survey. "Right now, the front-runners look like they will erase recent setbacks and add significantly to their delegate marg..>> view originalDonald Trump and New York Tabloids Pick Their Elaborate Dance ...
These days in New York, the stakes — and the players — have changed. Tabloids have fallen on hard times, their circulation and influence on the wane.

Of course, this doesn't mean Trump will lose New York. He will win big, but that's not because New Yorkers like him. When the other leading GOP candidate, Ted Cruz, criticizes New Yorkers for their liberal values, you can write off their votes. Apparently, Cruz – the son of a preacher – conveniently forgot the scripture that says don't judge others, lest you be judged. And when Cruz came looking for votes last week in the Bronx, the Daily News led its front page coverage with the headli..>> view originalWar criminal's surprising New York past
