Donald Trump’s children may not be able to vote, but other New Yorkers who registered before the March 25 deadline will head to the polls today.
Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders in the polls by at least 12 percentage points, according to Real Clear Politics, despite Sanders’ ability to draw impressive crowds of over 25,000 people in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park and more than 28,000 in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.
Trump, meanwhile, is expected to gain a clean sweep after rival Ted Cruz denounced those “liberal New York values”.
Polls show that Mr Trump, has double-digit leads over both Texas Senator Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich.
As the Republicans squabble over 95 delegates — Mr Trump’s campaign has recently called for voting system reform — and Democrats get a much larger sweep of 247 delegates, the victory in New York will be very important before the parties’ conventions this summer.
It is not a winner-takes-all result like in some other states, and delegates will be divided up according to the ballots cast.
