Donald Trump has a commanding 43-point lead in the New York Republican presidential primary, and Hillary Clinton has a comfortable advantage in the Democratic primary, according to a TWC News/Baruch College poll released Monday night.

Running in his home state, Trump is running away with the Republican race with 60 percent, compared to 17 percent for Ohio Gov. John Kasich and 14 percent for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas..



"Trump is just killing it," said Baruch College pollster Mickey Blum.

Trump's support is widespread.

"Every demographic group goes for him," said Baruch College pollster Doug Muzzio. "Every geographic group, every socio-economic group. And with large majorities. Cruz ain't doing it. And Kasich ain't doing it."

It means Trump is in a strong position to win all 95 delegates up for grabs, which would be key in helping him capture the nomination. He would get all the delegates if he finishes with at least 50 percent of the vote.

"This could really be his road to getting enough to win it outright before he ever gets to that convention," Blum said.

As for the Democratic fight, Hillary Clinton is ahead of Bernie Sanders in the state she represented in the Senate for eight years. But she leads him by just 13 points.

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.

In a general election, Clinton or Sanders beat Trump in New York. The poll found Clinton winning 51 percent to 35 percent. Sanders would trounce Trump even more decisively: 54 percent to 32 percent.

Those results may be fueled in part by New Yorkers' opinions of the candidates. Nearly 60 percent of state voters have an unfavorable view of Trump. A plurality of voters also has an unfavorable view of Clinton. Sanders does better.

The poll found Trump's supporters are also loyal. If he fails to become the Republican nominee, a majority say want him to run for president as a third-party candidate.
