Typo: it's 23 points

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton keep big leads in Siena College poll | Newsday

New York is a traditional blue state but trump said NY is in play if he is the nominee so maybe it's quite a long shot for him.

The "lol-its-good4U" poll says that that Siena Poll and others are inaccurate for anyone.

Trump was supposed to win pretty much all the states this past weekend according to polls - so much for "polls".

Let me save you Trump supporters keystrokes and come up with the answers you always provide after an unfavorable poll (but, mysteriously, not favorable ones):

1. LOL, LOL, [INSERT THE NAME OF THE POLLING FIRM] is a liberal-biased pollster, it cannot be trusted (then ignores that Sienna College poll is one of the best . . . A- in the 538 retrospective study, and that it has a Republican bias of 0.8);

2. LOL, LOL, the sample size is only [INSERT ANY NUMBER], it cannot be trusted (then ignores that the sample size is determined mathematically, based on the standard deviation and confidence level, that there is no magic numerical number to hit);

3. LOL, LOL, the election is 8 months away, anything can change before then;

4. LOL, LOL, the margin of error is [INSERT ANY PERCENTAGE], it cannot be trusted (then ignores that the poll results in this instant are way, way outside of the margin of error); and

5. LOL, LOL, this poll is clearly an outlier (but cannot explain why; goes into some irrational tirade).

6. LOL, LOL, this poll was clearly manipulated by the Illuminati and the Freemasons who control the establishment. Gov. Jessie "The Body" Venture will do an expose on this soon.

Mick

P.S. Hillary's margin over Mr. Trump is 23, not 21 as shown on the thread title.

Le me give you another "spin." Trump is not really hurting Republicans in New York. Romney lost it but as much if not bigger margins, so what is there to cry over? Having said that, wait until Trump gets going with her. She will sink like the wet drapes she loves to wear.

The establishment doesn't want Trump, so they will finagle the polls
to show he will lose to Hillary. Polls are easily manipulated for a desired result.
The mistake they are making is that if Hillary is advertized with a large
lead on Trump, many of her voters will stay home thinking she has it in the bag,
whereas the Trump voter will be motivated to show up.

Wishful thinking on your part. I am willing to wait and see.

Yes, because everyone is in cahoots and is conspiring with "the establishment," against poor little Trump, even the pollsters.

Carl Paladino, a virtual Trump clone, got his clocked cleaned by Democrat Andrew Cuomo in the 2010 gubernatorial race by a 2-1 margin (66-33%). I expect an easy win for Hillary in New York ... but probably not by as much since Trump has only threatened to sue people who've questioned him, not threatened to punch them out.

Why is this surprising? In the 2012 election President Obama got 63% to Romney's 33%
In 2008 election President Obama got 63% to McCain's 36%
In 2004 election President Bush got 40% to John Carey's 58%
In 2000 election President Bush got 35% to Al gore's 60%
In 1996 election President Clinton got 59% to Dole's 31%

I believe you have to go back to 1984 and Reagan to find a republican who took NY.
