Trump Campaign Sets Time, Place for Hudson Valley Rally

Donald Trump’s campaign to be the Republican presidential candidate has set its sights on Dutchess County Sunday.

While tickets are not immediately available on the real estate mogul and reality television star’s campaign website, the appearance will take place Sunday at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie.

The rally is set to start at 7 p.m., according to the Poughkeepsie Journal.

Trump is coming to the Hudson Valley on the wave of good polling news.

The NBC News/WSJ/Marist Poll released April 12 said both Trump and former senator and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are favored to win New York’s April 19 primary.

The poll also has the businessman with a 12-point lead in Maryland over Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

Former senator and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is showing a 22 percent lead in Maryland over Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who had people waiting outside a packed McCann Arena event at Marist College Tuesday.

The Marist Poll interviewed likely primary voters for the April 26 primary in Maryland to come up with the numbers.

Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, said if Trump and Clinton maintain their leads, they remain “on the path to securing their respective party’s nominations.”

He said, “With two weeks to go to the Maryland primary, their rivals need to find a way to close the gap.”
