In NY, Trump is bleeding republican support- Clinton leads 57%-27%

Poll shows Trump losing support among home-state Republicans

Others Republicans on ballot could be in trouble



Democrat Hillary Clinton continues to enjoy a commanding lead in the presidential race in New York, according to a Siena Research Institute poll of registered voters conducted last week.

She’s beating Republican Donald Trump by 57-27 in a one-on-one matchup and 50-25 when third-party candidates are factored in. And while her favorability rating continues to be low — 51 percent of voters view her favorably and 46 percent unfavorably — it’s far better than Trump’s 24-72.

Those numbers are to be expected, because the state both candidates call home is solidly blue. What is surprising, however, is how poorly Trump is polling among members of his own party in his home state, according to the poll. He enjoys the support of barely half of New York’s Republicans, which has the potential to inflict serious damage on other Republicans running in New York in November.

Clinton’s support among New York’s Democrats is comparable to the numbers President Barack Obama received at this point in both of his presidential campaigns. In a Siena poll conducted during Obama’s first campaign, Democrats planned to vote for him over Sen. John McCain 77-12. Four years later, Democrats planned to vote for him by a margin of 83-14.

1. let's hope the bleeding continues...

of republican support for asshat t-rump. We have another week ahead of us as I am sure he will fall flat on his face every day with his outrageous remarks.

2. I live in "upstate" NY, and the lack of Trump signs is amazing.

Just the other day, my wife and I were driving through a very Republican area and there were tons of "down ballot" election signs out on lawns everywhere. But not a single Trump sign to be found.

3. Interesting. I hope republican turnout is depressed nationwide.

4. Most NY'ers recognize a con-job....Mike Bloomberg.

Hillary produced far beyond expectations when she was US Senator, NY Republicans admired that. She won handily here twice. You don't see many coming out to trash her, except for those few rabid dogs.

6. And no one know Trump better

or longer than New Yorkers.

5. Now that's the kind of spread I'd hope to see in just about every state.

I can fathom a quarter of the population delusional enough to vote for Trump, but not much more.

It will be interesting if a significant percentage of voters only vote the down ballot races.

7. I wish it included a state map.

I grew up in upstate NY: Might as well be eastern texas up there.

I had no idea he was that far behind.

9. Thanks! Upstate :HRC 48 to DT 37. I'm impressed! Great news!

Feels good to see the learning curve speed up. Thanks for that!

10. Ain't it great?

I was also reading a few days ago about how South Carolina is now trending towards blue, and is just a few years away from turning blue. Gotta love it.

11. and texas is pink. But I think that's just a fRump temporary status.

Iowa is totally up for grabs, and georgia is blue. That's the most surprising thing.

He'll killing the gop! and he's not done yet!

13. go tRump.

12. See?!

Proof that it's rigged!
