Its so great that we now know how the race is going in NY and OK. But when will they poll TX and CA? and what about WY UT and RI?

Probably too high for Obama, but obviously safe for him. Why do we even need polling of New York?

At least the Texas race might be within single digits.

Well, Siena is a New York-centric poll, so they'll obviously poll statewide races, even if the outcome is already known. I think that if they continue to get the statewide elections accurately, it'll maintain their credibility for down-ballot races, which are much more interesting in New York.

And besides, most people on the partisan sides of the divide occasionally enjoy watching their opponents getting smashed in their safe states.

Siena polls New York monthly on various issues.  That they'd include a presidential horse race question is a no-brainer.

Don't hate us because we have active pollsters who poll New York regularly.  Hate that the state you want more polling from doesn't.
