    A PVI of R+10 is not “more purple than people realize.” That’s as red as NY is blue.

      Polls don’t matter in this instance. Look at the state record, which shows a modest progressive lean on statewide and municipal politics and a moderate conservative lean on federal politics.

        Exactly half of our last 12 governors were democrats, but the guy you’re responding to is either a troll or an idiot. Probably a bit of both.

        PVI is historical voting record. Holy shit my man, at the bare minimum understand a conversation before dumping your ignorant thoughts into it.

          The index looks at how every congressional district voted in the past two presidential elections combined and compares it to the national average.

          Sounds like a poll to me. If you actually look at how the politics play out at the state level, it tells a different story.
