Despite facing historically low favorability ratings among women, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump won a majority of female voters in his home state Tuesday night.

According to MSNBC exit polls, Trump won 57 percent of women in New York. Ohio Gov. John Kasich followed at 28 percent, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won just 15 percent of the female vote.

"[Trump] was at his lowest moment after Wisconsin and his campaign was in peril. There was a moment in time when he made a huge mistake – he attacked Heidi Cruz [and] he had launched another attack on Megyn Kelly," GOP campaign strategist Steve Schmidt told MSNBC Wednesday morning.

"Temperament was becoming a major subject of discussion in the campaign," Schmidt added. "[But] he turned it around and two weeks later we have this resounding victory."

In addition to winning women, Trump carried every congressional district with the exception of one in his home state's primary. The billionaire is now 392 delegates shy of getting the 1,237 needed to secure the Republican nomination.
