but if i'm ever lost on any of them, i will know to go ahead and write out "help" all caps. that does it for us tonight. rachel's going to be back tomorrow night. it is tuesday, april 12th. right now on "first look," donald trump rails against the delegate system. plus our new nbc news polls reveal which candidates are surging in new york. a chilling new warning from the cdc about the spread of the zika virus in the u.s. >> everything we look at with this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we thought. so while we absolutely hope we don't see widespread spreading, we need the states to be ready for that. and prince william and princess kate retrace princess

di's steps in india. and a road swallows up a car. "first look" starts now good morning, everybody. thanks so much for join us today. i'm betty nguyen. we are one week away from the new york primary and candidates continue to battle for new york. the latest nbc news/"wall street journal"/marist poll shows donald trump and hillary clinton ahead. donald trump is 33 points ahead of john kasich, and if he wins all the congressional districts he'll take 95 delegates up for grabs. the democratic race is tighter, but clinton still holds a sdeent -- decent lead up 14 points on sanders. our political coverage begins with the republicans and nbc's hallie jackson. >> reporter: donald trump wants to win in his home state where our new poll shows him over 50% now. ted cruz far behind in third. his campaign tells nbc news they're hoping to stop a sweep, because if trump gets all new

york's delegates he'll only need 55% of what's left to lock up the nomination. trump knows if he wins at home and in the nearby states voting next it's easier to avoid a contested convention. that's where cruz may have the delegate advantage. >> now they're trying to pick off the delegates one by one. that's not the way that democracy is supposed to work. it's crooked. >> reporter: while trump won't get the votes of two of his own children who missed the deadline, he's adding staff to get a better handle on the system he's railing against. >> the latest thing he seized upon is when people vote against him, they're stealing the election. it's a really odd notion. >> reporter: and while trump is taking aim at cruz's tactics a campaign source says if he doesn't like the system he shouldn't be a part of it. >> what people are electing through the delegate selection process are their people to represent their views on the

floor in cleveland. >> reporter: some of trump's backers now feeling unrepresented. >> i will never be a republican again. >> reporter: trump retweeting this video of a colorado man burning his voter registration. larry lindsey, furious cruz outmaneuvered trump to win every delegate in the centennial state. >> and to hell with republican party. >> reporter: now seeing supporters starting a firestorm. hallie jackson, nbc news, new york. hey, guys. >> reporter: i'm kristen welker. both candidates in the democratic campaign sharpened their attacks. >> i noticed under the scrutiny here in new york, senator sanders had trouble answering questions. >> as most of you know, hillary clinton vote for the disastrous

war. >> reporter: her delegate lead could become insurmountable, all but securing the nomination. adding to sanders' tough odds, independents aren't allowed to vote in the new york primary. his strategy now driving up turnout. >> when there's a large voter turnout we win. >> reporter: meanwhile, the top democrat who didn't get into the race, vice president joe biden was asked if he would like to see a female president. >> i would like to see a woman elected. >> that's it? >> that's all right. the president and i will not going to endorse because when we ran we said, let the party decide. >> nbc's hallie jackson and kristen welker reporting. the nation's top health experts they're warning that the zika virus appears to be spreading much faster and this the u.s. will be in the crosshairs with mosquitos spreading the virus in if coming warmer months. tom costello has details. >> reporter: a stark warning that the haunting images of babies born with microcephaly in brazil are becoming a very real concern in the u.s. >> everything we look at with

this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we thought. >> reporter: the zika virus is carried by the aedes aegypti mosquito. the new estimate it's in 30 states. further north than first thought. though that doesn't mean they'll carry zika that far. 346 cases are reported all over the country, mostly from those who brought the virus home and now pregnant women along the gulf coast are at risk. a doctor is warning that microencephaly can ravage the region. >> i'm worried in extreme poverty and poor neighborhoods in houston and new orleans, maybe tampa, that we are highly vulnerable to see the zika virus transmission leading to microcephaly cases. >> reporter: especially vulnerable, the poor living without air conditioning or window screens near standing water where mosquitos thrive. unborn babies may be at risk

throughout the mother's pregnancy, not just in the first trimester. zika can cause other forms of brain damage that show up years later. >> the more and more you get concerned about what the scope of what this virus is doing. >> doctors from the cdc and national institute of health are asking congress for millions to fight the virus. today is national equal pay day, april 12th represents the number of extra days that a woman working full-time has to work to earn the same amount as a man in a year. in honor of female equality, president obama will designate a new national monument in washington, d.c. it houses an extensive collection documenting the accomplishments of the woman's movement in the u.s. carli lloyd is speaking out about the pay gap in soccer. she said the team is sick of
