Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but this “poll” seems to have been of the internet variety open to whatever respondents are interested, and doesn’t say much about anything other than the readers of the Rochester Business Journal.
At least it does ask party affiliation, but I can’t see the NY pubs turning out half again as many voters as the Dems.
From the RBJ site:
Republican: 37%
Non-affiliated: 32%
Democrat: 25%
Other: 5%

Sure, they have a class of noisy true-believers, but that's definitely a minority of their type.
Wonder how the African-American community likes a baseline unemployment rate of 40%+ among 20 somethings.
GOP 37% and Dems 25%. So much for accurate representation. And even with GOP respondents at 37% vs Dems at 25%, and DioGuardi only leads by 5%??
Upstate NY was dominated by the GOP for quite a while.
