Wednesday, April 20, 2016 01:15 PM

 

Donald Trump is continuing to broaden his appeal as a presidential candidate, according to CNN exit polls conducted during Tuesday's New York primary.

The Republican presidential front-runner not only trounced Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Empire State contest, but appeared to be increasing his popularity in crucial areas.

CNN's exit polls in New York found that Trump won:

    63 percent of male voters and 57 percent of female voters
    A plurality of every age group of voters, 18 to 65 and older
    A plurality of every level of education, high school, or less through post graduate)
    A plurality of every income level, less than $30,000 to $200,000
    A plurality of somewhat conservative and very conservative voters — and 46 percent of moderates.
    48 percent of Evangelical Christians
    64 percent who said they were not born-again or Evangelical Christians

The billionaire businessman also won on being the best to handle New Yorkers' three most important campaign issues: the economy, government spending and terrorism, respectively scoring 54, 57, and 63 percent.

Of course, the CNN exit polls were also way off on their estimate of margin of victory in the Democrats' race, too, which raises a lot of doubt as to whether this is reliable.

Exactly.  New York must love them some Trump.  Most of the rest of the country keeps the Trumpkins behind barbed wire so they won't scare the children.
