Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump by 30 points in New York, according to a Siena College poll.
In the poll of 717 registered voters, conducted August 7 - August 10:
- Clinton: 57 percent;
- Trump: 27 percent.
In a poll question that included Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Clinton still maintains the lead.
- Clinton: 50 percent;
- Trump: 25 percent;
- Other candidates: 16 percent.
Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said New York residents continue to support Democratic candidates.
"The Empire State seems firmly planted on the blue side of the map," Greenberg said. "New Yorkers have voted Democratic in the last seven presidential elections and there does not appear to be a real threat to end that streak."
Voters in the poll were divided over whether they believed America is "great now" or if it needs to be made "great again," a reference to Trump's campaign slogan.
- 49 percent of voters say, "America is great now."
- 44 percent of voters say, "It is time to make America great again."
Breaking down that result by party lines, 60 percent of Democrats think America is great now, and 66 percent of Republicans said it needs to be made great again.
In other poll results, voters believe Clinton is more qualified to be president than Trump, by a margin of 66 percent to Trump's 26 percent.
Voters sided more closely with Clinton than with Trump on six issues, including addressing tensions between police and minority communities, improving health care, developing a comprehensive immigration policy, keeping America safe from terrorism, creating jobs, and addressing global trade issues.
Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort addressed Trump's recent poll performances during a Cats Roundtable appearance, saying his polling in battleground states is improving and the GOP nominee is waiting to start his advertising campaign after the Olympics.
