Quinnipiac, New York State: all Democrats win

[pbrower2a]

...as if anyone should be surprised.

Clinton and Trump win the state in the primary, likely finishing off Sanders, Cruz, and Kasich.

It's a weak win for Democrats in view of the nature of the state.  Few states are more D than New York -- after DC, it's Hawaii, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, California, Maryland, and New Mexico (96 electoral votes); New York is then roughly electoral votes from 97 to 125.

The Democratic nominee probably is not winning nationwide without getting about 60% of the vote in New York State.

Clinton's lead of only 12% in the primary is pretty surprising.

Trump is up 36%. I don't see that getting competitive.

Wow Kasich is only down by 5 points against Clinton.

Yeah that is pretty damn astounding....I have no clue if that would actually hold up, but wow.

Just goes to show how much people hate her personally that f'n Kasich is so close.

lol if NY is competitive w/ Kasich, this election would be so much fun

Kasich runs a quiet campaign, avoiding offensive and extreme statements that put moderates off against Cruz and Trump.

Kasich is not coming within 5 in NY. This should demonstrate why we should take Kasich's double-digit leads in swing states with a grain of salt. Not that it really matters, though.

Exactly. I'll be glad to eat my shoe if I'm wrong, but none of these Republican candidates would come even within 15 points of Clinton or Sanders in New York.

There are numerous polls showing, in 2008, McCain within single digits of Obama in New York around this very same time. One poll even shows him winning +2.

What actually happened? Obama won the highest winning margin since LBJ's landslide - 62.88%, and 4 years later, actually did even better (63.35%) despite the poor recovery, which saw his winning margins dropping almost everywhere else.
