Any idea why Gillebrand is doing so poorly when she has been in office only a short while?

Hopefully the reason is something other than “not liberal enough for New York.”

I’d love for the GOP to take that seat, but if not, I’d prefer Gillebrand to Maloney.

I was careful to mention Gillebrand’s negatives are also below 50%, but they are higher than her positives. I think liberals don’t trust her because she used to be for gun rights, fighting illegal immigration, etc. Conservatives don’t like her because she is no longer for gun rights, fighting illegal immigration, etc. I think if liberals were counted as supporting her over a Republican candidate, she would certainly be over 50%.

She is too liberal for republicans, to conservative for dems, and many people just don't like her. She is not well liked in the DEM circles. They call her “Tracy Flick”
