This would describe ~665,000 New Yorkers in 2016. A Trump/Schumer voter would fall into one of the following categories:
1. Orthodox Jews in New York City.
2. White ethnics in New York City, its suburbs, and in the major upstate cities such as Albany and Rochester.
3. Rural and exurban white working class voters throughout Upstate New York.
4. Some minority voters in the Bronx and other metropolitan areas of the state.
It's astonishing that Schumer carried
40 counties won by Trump that year. The contrast between the two maps is dramatic:
Presidential:Senatorial:Democratic Senators in New York have a long history of outrunning the national ticket, for parochial and other reasons. Nevertheless, Schumer obviously won't do that well this year, and as I've said elsewhere, he will lose many of the counties which he carried in his last three races.
