Absolutely no one should have been surprised by Tuesday nights results in New York. HuffPost Pollsters polling averages had Donald Trump far ahead, and Hillary Clinton with a clear advantage over Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) -- which means the polls that go into the averages were right.

The average error is under 5 percentage points for the eight pollsters who polled both the Democratic and Republican races in the last week before the primaries. Two of those polls -- the NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll and the Emerson College Polling Society poll -- averaged about 2.6 percentage points of error across both Republican and Democratic primaries.

In a primary season that began rather ominously for pollsters when Iowa polls missed Sen. Ted Cruzs (R-Texas) win, and had another snafu in Michigan when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) pulled off a surprise victory, these close numbers in New York are a substantial win for pollsters.
