Clinton holds steady among New York voters in latest poll
Business mogul Donald Trump is known for amassing wealth. Now, he’s amassing more of an increasingly hot commodity: Republican votes in New York.
A Siena College poll released Monday morning shows Trump surging in the primary matchup six weeks ahead of the day when New Yorkers will cast their primary ballots. The Manhattanite is pulling in 45 percent of the vote among GOPers. The next closest candidates are Marco Rubio and John Kasich, whose own surge has propelled him to 18 percent of the vote from 4 percent last month.
On the Democratic side, the numbers for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders didn’t budge from February. Clinton leads 55-34 among Democrats.
That Trump jumped another 11 points in the Republican primary matchup — in which only four candidates remain — isn’t a shock given his sustained success nationally. The Siena poll was conducted in the midst of Super Tuesday last week, during which Trump won seven of 11 states in play. On Super Saturday last weekend, Trump won two of four states in play.

ETA: For those that are curious, the Siena College poll ranks an A- on the 538 pollster rankings.
