Is the Big Apple in play?
According to a New York Post report, former President Donald Trump is within single-digit striking distance of President Joe Biden in deep blue New York.
Team Trump has made a point of reaching out to New Yorkers and is currently surging in the polls with Black and Jewish Americans.
From The New York Post:
If the election were held today, Biden would receive 47% of the vote to 39% for Trump, Siena College found in a survey of 805 registered voters.
The poll’s margin of error — 4.1% — means the race could be even closer.
“We are going to win New York!” the presumptive Republican nominee, 78, claimed at a May 23 South Bronx rally, where he courted black and Hispanic voters by arguing they were being badly impacted by record illegal immigration under Biden, as well as by economic issues such as high inflation.
The Siena survey found that Trump is supported by 29% of black New Yorkers and 26% of Latino residents ahead of his Nov. 5 rematch against 81-year-old Biden.
In 2020, Trump — who at the time also claimed he was on the cusp of winning New York — was supported by just 6% of black New Yorkers and 22% of Hispanics, according to exit polling.
