New Yorkers favor Clinton, Trump, think Clinton will be next president

Jobs and Keeping America Safe are the top issues facing the presidential candidates in NY.

The stage was set for the vote on Tuesday, with NY billionaire Trump enjoying a big lead in opinion polls of the state’s Republican voters and a host of rivals jockeying to emerge as his chief challenger for the Republican presidential nomination in the November 8 election. Twenty-two percent of Republicans also believe Clinton is going to move back into the White House, and 12 percent believe that Cruz will move in.

No other candidates received support in the double digits.

According to the Mitchell/FOX 2 Detroit Polls released Monday, 41 percent of respondents said that if the Michigan Republican primary was held immediately, they would vote for Trump.

Most of the interviews for this poll were conducted between Thursday’s Democratic debate and Saturday’s Republican debate. Indecisive voters can easily skew Election Day results away from what polls had indicated would happen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx). But the poll also suggests that Mrs. Clinton leads all Republicans by at least 17-points…and almost half of those surveyed think she will be the next president.

“The response from New Hampshire voters, TV pundits and even our critics has been overwhelmingly positive”, strategist Mike DuHaime wrote in an email solicitation.

“For those of you who are still deciding, still shopping, I hope I can close the deal”, Clinton said at Manchester Community College, campaigning with her raspy-voiced husband and daughter Chelsea. Trump actually does slightly better with electability voters (33%) than shared values voters (25%), but he still leads the field among both groups.

Fully 6-in-10 (60%) likely Democratic primary voters say that they are completely decided on their candidate choice. This is a slightly tighter contest than the 53% to 39% lead Sanders held in Monmouth’s January poll. The margin of error among Democrats was 4.4 percentage points. She has 57% with Sanders standing at 28%, both sides lost support since the last poll with Clinton losing 4% and Sanders 6%. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.
