A New York poll finds Sen. Barack Obama's lead in the state has fallen to five points, down from 18 points in June.
The Siena Research Institute poll has Obama, a Democrat, leading Sen. John McCain 46 to 41 percent among likely voters in the heavily Democratic state. He led 51-33 in the June survey.

McCain within 5 in liberal New York, are you kidding me?!
GOOD GRIEF...
Obviously, no need to spend money, we’ll never win NY.
But this has to send shivers down the spines of liberals everywhere.
Wow....could NY be in play?
Unbelievable.
If Obama has to pour money into blue states, he’s done.
New Jersey is also on the bubble.
Ehm, whatever. Not to be a downer, but noway is McCain even coming close to taking New York, it won’t even be a contest. Remember how Bush was supposedly tied with Kerry in New York in September?
lol
What happened?
Goldwater,
I think we have to send Sarah to a few of these states we know McCain can not win. in order to make Obama defend them.
I agree, no way will MdCain take New York, but if he is within 5 it makes PA, WI, MI, OH, FL look safer and safer.
Fauxbama DOWN significatly below 50%, in NEW YORK???? That’s not a good sign for the democrats... This election is going to be about how many seats the Republicans are going to gain, the presidential race (unless something drastically changes soon) is pretty much over.
I don’t know whether to believe this or not, but if true, it points to a Mc Cain blowout nationally.
Not in New York proper, but ad buys in PA and NJ will penetrate into NY as well.
New York state is turning a shade of purple (toss-up) state?
Quick, somebody get a saw and lop off the southeast corner of the state, float it out to sea, and have it declared a sovereign nation.
It’s a liberal, Democratic leaning poll, as well.
I’ve long argued that State parties and 527s should advertise in both Philly and NYC markets - we can bankrupt Obama having to defend CT, NY, NJ and PA.
Believe it. There are internal Dem and Rep polls that show the same.

panic stations, man the lifeboats, the bots are going to go batshit.
Spitzer scandal and Rangel scandal not helping Democratic brand in New York as well.
I think you’re missing the point. It’s not about McCain winning NY. He’s not going to start spending money on NY. It’s about Obama being forced to spend money to keep NY. If he has to do that in solidly blue NY, he’s finished.
