New York looks set to deliver both presidential front-runners big primary victories on April 19, with Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump sporting double-digit leads in their home state in a new poll.
Clinton leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders 54% to 42% in the Empire State, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
On the Republican side, Trump is in first place with 56% support, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz trails with 20% and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 19%.
The Quinnipiac poll also found that the New York remains solidly blue, as both Democratic candidates would soundly defeat the Trump in a general election match-up.

Clinton, who served eight years as the U.S. senator from New York, leads Trump, a New York City native and icon, 53% to 33% there, while Sanders, who grew up in Brooklyn, would defeat the Republican front-runner at a similar margin, 56% to 32%.
Alternatively, Clinton beats Cruz in a hypothetical general election match-up in New York at 53% to 32%, while Kasich runs closest, drawing 41% to the former secretary of state's 46%.
Sanders tops Cruz 56% to 28% and Kasich 57% to 37% in New York general election contests, according to the poll.
The poll, conducted from March 22-29, surveyed 1,667 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points. The survey includes 457 Republican likely primary voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.6 percentage points and 693 Democratic likely primary voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

The New York Post reported Friday that former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger“has been talking openly about working on getting the constitutional rules changed so he can run for president in 2016.” He’s unlikely to succeed.
