Poll: Clinton leads by 21 points in New York

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a commanding lead over Republican Donald Trump in New York, the home state of both candidates, according to a Siena College poll released early Tuesday.

{mosads}Clinton leads by 21 points, outpacing Trump, 51 to 30 percent, among registered voters. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson gets 8 percent support, and the Green Party’s Jill Stein gets 3 percent.

Trump has vowed to compete in the Empire State — which has long been a stronghold for Democratic candidates — despite many of its voters opposing his central proposals.

Likely voters in the state support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants by a 3-to-1 ratio. They also favor keeping and improving ObamaCare over repealing it by a margin of 18 points, and gun control supporters outnumber gun rights supporters by 15 points.

The poll surveyed 600 self-identified registered voters from Sept. 11 to 15. It has a margin of error of 5 percentage points.
