Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton lead their opponents by double digits among likely primary voters in New York and Pennsylvania, according to the results of the latest Fox News polls, which also found the former secretary of state leading the Republican front-runner in hypothetical matchups in both states.

In his native New York, Trump grabbed 54 percent support among those likely to vote in the April 19 primary, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich finished a distant second with 22 percent. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz earned 15 percent, with 6 percent saying they did not know whom they would back.

Donald Trump’s momentum is unlikely to be derailed in the big-state Republican presidential primaries on Tuesday – except in Ohio, where home-state Gov. John Kasich is favored to win.

And in Florida, insiders in both parties see Tuesday as the likely denouement of Sen. Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign.

In the battle to stop Donald Trump, Tuesday marks the turning point.

If Trump romps through the five states and one territory where voters will head to the polls, it will be nearly impossible for Republican opponents to deny him the nomination.

Donald Trump has won the Republican caucus in the Northern Mariana Islands, a remote U.S. territory that consists of 15 islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Trump took home 73 percent of the vote and will win all nine delegates, according to Jason Osborne, who was the executive director of the local Republican Party.

The Republican presidential campaign will not end next week, or even next month. But voters in the five states casting ballots on Tuesday will go a long way toward determining whether Donald J. Trump can win the 1,237 delegates necessary to claim the party’s nomination.
