NY Poll: Hillary Clinton Surges to 30-Point Lead Over Donald Trump

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Hillary Clinton has widened her lead to 30 points over Donald Trump among New York voters, dominating a state Trump has vowed to make competitive in the 2016 presidential race, according to a new poll published Monday.

It was the first Siena College poll in New York since the Republican and Democratic national conventions last month, and mirrors a trend showing gains by Clinton in national polls over the past two weeks.

Clinton has surged in the Empire State since a Siena College poll in June showed she had a 23-point lead over Trump, 54-31 percent.

Clinton, the former two-term New York senator, now leads Trump in his home state by 57-27 percent in the new poll.

The poll of 717 registered voters in New York took place Aug. 7 through Wednesday, and was conducted by telephone calls to land lines and cell phones. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 percentage points.
