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.
Shes 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 its far better than Trumps 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 Yorks Republicans, which has the potential to inflict serious damage on other Republicans running in New York in November.
Clintons support among New Yorks 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 Obamas 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.

(37,451 posts)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.

(25,862 posts)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.
