The Republicans, on the other hand, show Trump leading with 746 delegates, followed by Cruz with 538, and Kasich with 145. This differs from the Fox poll of New Yorkers, which has Kasich following Trump and Cruz trailing behind.

This primary is especially important for Clinton and Trump, as both candidates call New York their home state. While Clinton’s polls show no need for worry, Sanders has won seven out of the last eight primaries.

Trump campaigned on Monday, April 11^th by hosting a rally in at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY. According to Times Union, he referenced New York values after 9/11, as he has done before.

Kasich also held a rally in La Salle Institute in North Greensburg.

Cruz, meanwhile, has been under fire by Trump for his comments in the past about New York values. According to the New Yorker, Cruz contrasted common sense to New York values.

On the Democratic side, both candidates have opened campaign offices in the state. Sanders opened one in Yonkers, and Clinton opened one in Brooklyn.

Registered New Yorkers will be able to vote at their local voting stations on Tuesday, April 19^th.
