Between Oct. 22-28 and Nov. 1-4, voter support for Obama increased by six points in the East, to 58% from 52%, while it held largely steady in the three other regions. This provides further support for the possibility that Obama's support grew as a result of his response to the storm.
If this is true, 0bama's post-Sandy surge was in the part of the country he was going to win anyway. So he wins NY by 65% rather than 58%.
And, moreover, it is already fading. But you’re right, who cares if his support goes up in MA?
