Just to be clear, for the last several cycles it has looked like NY was tending purple. But that looks to be a trend decisively (at least temporarily) reversed and, if Mamdani is successful, perhaps generationally reversed. Unfair that so much is riding on the NYC administration but here we are.
Republicans mightily struggling in New York in a new Siena poll.
Kathy Hochul leads GOP opponent Bruce Blakeman 54% to 28%. (She won by 6% in 2022.)
Democrats have a 56/29 lead in the generic congressional ballot. (Result was 57/43 in 2024).
Trump approval is 33/63. sri.siena.edu/2026/02/03/h...

FFS. I think the cat is out of the bag. But to give them credit, these amoral people supporting Trump’s regime never stop the barrage of lies. Democrats take note. These are not people who understand bipartisanship. They understand domination and control. Resist the temptation for half measures.
