Three 'New York' Candidates Battle It Out In New York Primary
Resume
Polls are open in New York, where both parties are engaged in intense primary battles. It is a rare election featuring three candidates with strong New York ties. The latest polls show Donald Trump with a commanding lead on the Republican side, and Hillary Clinton leading Brooklyn-born Bernie Sanders. But that gap has closed to about 10 points.
