New York City is the center of American liberalism. "Upstate" is much more conservative and the suburbs are split. Democrats control the State Senate and the State Assembly, with around a 2/3 majority.
New York City is the center of American liberalism. "Upstate" is much more conservative and the suburbs are split. Democrats control the State Senate and the State Assembly, with around a 2/3 majority. In 1980 the state elected 17 Republicans to the House; in 2010 it elected only 8. However, due to population loss, New York only had 29 seats in 2010 compared to 39 in 1980, so the change isn't as dramatic as it seems at first glance.
