Trump Hires Pollster to Help Him Win New York

Donald Trump “has hired a new pollster to help him capture an elusive Republican victory in New York,” the New York Times reports.

“The pollster, John McLaughlin, will be focusing exclusively on New York, polling to determine what type of climb Mr. Trump would face in a state that hasn’t voted for a Republican in a presidential race since Ronald Reagan in 1984. Mr. McLaughlin’s role was described by two campaign sources briefed on the move, who were not authorized to speak publicly.”
