New poll finds New Yorkers in an Empire State of mind. That's good for Democrats.
The Empire State is alright.
More voters think New York is headed in the right direction than those who don’t, according to a new poll — a positive sign for incumbent Democrats and an indication that discontent with Washington is making New Yorkers feel better about the status of things in their home state.
A Siena poll released this week showed 42% of the 802 voters surveyed said the state is on the right track compared to 41% who say we’re headed in the wrong direction. That’s a statistical tie — the margin of error for the poll is 4.2% — but it’s the first time in four years that the measure is positive.
“To me, this is sort of a combination of a fiscal and a political question because if you like the political leader, you tend to think things are moving in the right direction,” poll spokesperson Steven Greenberg said.
