The survey from Republican firm Optimus Consulting shows Trump doubling his next closest competitor, John Kasich, 49 percent to 24 percent, with Ted Cruz far behind with 14 percent. But even as the survey has him leading in all 27 congressional districts, Trump’s margins will prove crucial in the hunt for New York’s 95 delegates, from Buffalo to Ithaca to Bethpage.

In the poll, Trump’s strongest showings are on Long Island and in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island in New York City, where he’s above or within the margin of error of 50 percent in 10 congressional districts. His weakest spots are a swath of upstate districts where he polled closer to 40 percent than to a majority. One of those districts belongs to GOP Rep. Tom Reed, one of the few members of Congress to endorse Trump. In the two congressional districts that cover Buffalo and its surrounding area, Trump hovered right around 50 percent.

I wonder how the voter registration issue will impact this?  Much of his support is from cross-over Democrats but they would have had to switched their registration in NY months ago.

Cruz couldn't win 50% of his home state.

Some landslide of you are a loser with the delegate count. This Primary election should be a laugh riot.

Trump has delusions that he's going to sweep all 95 delegates. He's banked on this. Anything short of this will send him into a rage.

If they haven't, it'll be amusing to see if Trump goes after John Kasich.
