Biden support slips in deep blue New York: ‘We’re a battleground state now’
Politico ^ | 7/10/24 | Nick Reisman

NEW YORK — President Joe Biden has a new problem: a competitive race in deep blue New York.

Elected officials, union leaders and political consultants are panicking over polls showing a steady erosion of Biden’s support in a state he won by 23 points four years ago. They’re so worried they’ve been trying to convince the Biden team to pour resources into New York to shore up his campaign and boost Democrats running in a half-dozen swing districts that could determine control of the House.

Biden aides have not focused on New York, committing no significant resources to a state where they expect the president to easily win all 28 electoral college votes in November.

But the warning signs are impossible to ignore and have been building over the past year. Two private polls conducted in a swing New York House district and reviewed by POLITICO — one in September and another in March — found former President Donald Trump leading Biden there by 1 point, a virtual tie. And public polls over the last four months found Biden’s lead had winnowed to just 8 points across New York — an unusually narrow gap in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.

“We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been,” Democratic Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said. “I truly believe we’re a battleground state now.”

Biden, whose campaign is in free fall after a shambling debate performance last month, is yet to pay much attention to the state beyond high-dollar fundraisers. He was most recently in New York on June 29 to raise money in the Hamptons and attend a dedication ceremony for the Stonewall Inn Visitor Center in Manhattan a day earlier.

Lee can easily beat Hochul at this point. And if we’re really lucky, Schumer will...never mind...

I guess the push polls after the demented debate disaster have not calmed the democrats sense of impending doom. This election will be the most “interesting” in our lifetimes.

And I see a new headline that George Clooney is now calling for Biden to resign!

NY purple, is NJ red?

all noise to cover voter fraud. Blue states are going to use voter fraud to steal the elections.

New York will go red about the time pigs fly and the View hosts fit in a phone booth together.

I think Gillibrand is up for re-election. Maybe put Zeldin up.

NJ is +1 for Trump right now. Not enough to stop the steal.

“ NY purple, is NJ red?”

Pipe dream. Democrats OWN the election apparatus in these corrupt states.

Lots of "new Americans" living in NY since 2020.

Apparently, this is a photo of newly arrived Africans in the Big Apple, taken in 2023. I'm sure some friendly New York City official will help them vote the correct way.

I live in NY. Its like California. There’s plenty of conservative people in the entire state, but somehow, like LA and SF, NY City and the woke apparatchiks in Albany ALWAYS win.

I sometimes wonder if they even count votes here anymore.

Too many illegals have been registered to vote in the big cities. MAGA voting for RFK, Jr. is the better choice to deny the state to Biden.

I’m not about to put any stock in Trump of any other state-level Republicans winning. Even if he does, the election fraud machine is pretty robust there.

Not really. At the Presidential level, they are about the same, NJ for some reason has had more success with Republican governors, 16 of the last 30 years we have elected a Republican governor. We haven’t elected a Republican Senator since Clifford Case in 1972.
