Upstate NY looks to be seeing one of the largest leftward swings in the country.
Upstate's been an underrated swingy region for a while now. If I'm not mistaken, it voted narrowly for Bush, then easily for Bush, then easily for Obama, then narrowly for Obama, then yuge for Trump. The only reason its elasticity isn't discussed more is because the state as a whole is titanium D because of the city.
I thought Upstate voted for Gore and Kerry?
Gore and Kerry won New York outside the city, but narrowly enough that I always assumed it was their strong performances in Long Island and Westchester that made the difference. I could be wrong.
Nope Kerry won NY outside the city even without those 3 counties. Infact even you extend it to north of Ulster he still wins NY by 1% Gore did too by a few points.
