New York Democratic Polls 2016: Clinton’s Lead Grows
The tone of the Democratic race has sharpened as the candidates head to New York. Bernie Sanders has won seven of the last eight nominating contests, but early polling shows he faces a big challenge in New York.
The latest Emerson poll showed Hillary Clinton with an 18 percentage point lead (56-38) While the poll shows Sanders gaining on Clinton compared to the last Emerson poll, it is a considerable step back from more recent polls showing Sanders as close as 10 percentage points of Clinton.

Bernie still can't win non-whites:
In the Democratic race, the Brooklyn-born Sanders still has work to do if he hopes to
overtake Clinton, who represented New York in the U.S. Senate. Although Sanders
picked up 6 points with African Americans and 23 points with Hispanics since the
last ECPS poll, Clinton still has a better than 2-1 advantage with both groups.
African Americans favor her 72% to 28%, and Hispanics lean her way 68% to 32%.
She also leads Sanders 48% to 43% among white Democratic voters, a group that
has tended to favor him.
Clinton still leads him 60% to 36% among women and 51% to 41% with men. His unflagging
popularity with young voters gives him a 60% to 36% edge in the 18-34 age group,
but in the other three age categories, Clinton enjoys a wide margin of support: 26
points (ages 35-54), 29 points (55-74) and 41 points (75+).
