With only hours remaining before polls in New York open on Tuesday, April 19, Republican front-runner Donald Trump is set to go into battle with a 33-point lead over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and endless praise for his brash and outspoken approach.

A CBS poll now shows Trump leading the Texas senator 54 percent to 21 percent, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich stuck even further behind at just 19 percent.

Trump Could Walk Away With All of Empire State's Delegates

If the poll holds, Trump could walk away with all of New York's 95 delegates. In order to do so, he would need to win the majority of the vote in all the state's 27 congressional districts.

Polls also show Trump holding steady, double-digits leads in both California and Pennsylvania. But nowhere does the love-fest seem more pronounced than in New York, where GOP voters describe Trump as "effective, authentic, electable and a good negotiator."

CBS News election director Anthony Salvanto recently said that voters in his hometown aren't looking for him to tone down all his fiery rhetoric "because they're New Yorkers."

Trump told Staten Island supporters at the Hilton Garden Inn on Sunday that he has fond memories of working summers on the island with his real-estate-magnate dad.

"I love Staten Island," Trump recently reflected during a campaign stop where he also reminisced about working summers there for his real estate magnate father. I love it," he added. "The greatest people."

Trump Doubles-Down on vow to Build Border Wall

Later, Trump rallied supporters in Poughkeepsie, where he reaffirmed his vow to build a wall along the Mexican border to keep out immigrants.

"There's never been anything like this," he raved at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. "The movement is about winning. You're going to go home and you're going to remember this event. Remember they called it a phenomenon."

Though he has won most primaries, Trump has struggled bagging delegates at some stops, including Wyoming and Colorado, where he insisted he didn't put forth much effort, arguing that the process was rigged.

"When it's up to the bosses -- we didn't play in Colorado, because I heard that it was going to be for the bosses, for the RNC," he said. "I'm not going to waste a lot of money.
