Yet another NY Poll gives HRC a double-digit lead

As for the Democratic fight, Hillary Clinton is comfortably ahead of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the state she represented in the Senate for eight years - but her lead is far smaller than Trump's.

The poll shows 50 percent of likely primary voters back Clinton, and 37 percent support Sanders.

Voters under 30 are overwhelmingly in Sanders' corner. While more than two-thirds of voters over 65 support Clinton. Clinton beats Sanders in every region of the state but they are closest in New York City.

Not only is New York a closed primary -- it's super closed. Deadline for switching party registration was in *October*.



In Wisconsin, Clinton tied Sanders among Democrats despite being blown out overall. And NY demographics much better for Clinton than WI.

Ordinarily, I'd be skeptical of polls showing Clinton with a ~15% lead over Sanders in New York, but the closed primary thing is a big deal.
