And if they are tied nationally, and you subtract the People’s Republics of California and New York, Trump is on average ahead where it matters.
“...and New York...”
New York could go Trump - it is not impossible this time!! Upstate HATES Hillary other than a pocket of hippies in Ithaca. They were for Bernie so may stay home or vote Stein in protest ... helping Trump ...
Trump is a native NYC son from Queens and many in NYC don’t like Hillary and realize she is the carpetbagger from Arkansas who wrecked upstate.
We will see if the elite libs in Manhattan and the Section 8 vote can override this as usual of course, but at least there is a chance that New York will go red.
I know of 4 NYC votes for Trump in my own family - 2 in Brooklyn and 2 in Harlem.
