A day after Hillary Clinton trounced Bernie Sanders in the New York primary, the former secretary of state holds a double-digit lead over the Vermont senator among Democrats in Pennsylvania, according to the latest Monmouth University poll.

Here are the latest results, released Wednesday, of the survey of 302 Keystone State voters:
  • Clinton: 52 percent.
  • Sanders: 39 percent.
Among women:
  • Clinton: 61 percent.
  • Sanders: 32 percent.
Among men:
  • Sanders: 50 percent.
  • Clinton: 41 percent.
Among those age 50 and older:
  • Clinton: 57 percent.
  • Sanders: 33 percent.
Among those under 50:
  • Sanders: 48 percent.
  • Clinton: 46 percent.
On Tuesday, Clinton dusted up New York state with Sanders, 58 to 42 percent. She picked up 139 delegates to Sanders' 106.

"After her win in New York this week, these numbers in nearby Pennsylvania suggest that the entire Northeast is looking pretty good for the Clinton campaign," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

However, in a race between Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, the former first lady would crush the developer, 81 to 11 percent.

Sanders, also, would beat Trump — 78 percent to 11 percent, according to the survey.

Trump won New York's primary, 60.4 percent to John Kasich's 25.1 percent and Ted Cruz's 14.5 percent.

The billionaire won 89 delegates, while Kasich received three. Cruz got no delegates from the Empire State.

The latest Monmouth poll was conducted between Sunday and Tuesday and has a margin of error of 5.6 percent.
