New York going......Red?!?

Could it be? According to Newsday, a new poll taken by the Dowling Polling Institute data, shows that McCain has a slight lead on Obama in Long Island and is only slightly behind him statewide.

Despite this recent polling, I would still call New York an Obama state. Polling is not the determining factor and most polls are still in favor of Obama anyway. Plus New York has always been a very liberal state. It hasn't gone Republican since Ronald Reagan took it in 1984. 

It will be interesting to see, however, if there is more Republican turn-out than expected.
