Define "tried harder". Does it mean put forth a more moderate candiate? If so, it's their own fault, anyone "moderate" enough to win has been so pilloried as a RINO that he's taken his marbles and gone home.
Is is "dump in enough money to overwhelm the airwaves"? If they're not doing that it's because the money people; the RSCC and Rove's 'billionaire boy's club" are smart enough to know that doing that means taking from other, more promising races.
Face it, NY is heavily a Blue State and most likely always will be. I've given up on NY and categorize it in with California and Massachusetts. I hope I'm wrong and it goes the way NJ went. I thought NJ was a lost cause too but their Governor is great now.
"Two new polls show Republican challenger Joseph DioGuardi closing in on incumbent Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who along with fellow New York Sen. Chuck Schumer was considered a shoo-in for the seat in November."

No, it isn't. WGRZ is in a very Democratic county (Erie County). I live here. Chances of calling likely voters and getting all Reuplicans in the sample are almost nil. The County ( city and burbs) is way more Dem than Rep.
Speak of what you know, not what you hope.
I just hope we can vote her out. She has done nothing for the area but show up and smile...

1. They polled the entire state, not just Erie.
2. WGRZ did not conduct the poll, they reported on it. The poll was commissioned by two Newspapers, one in Rochester, one in White Plains and was conducted by Survey USA.
3. As far as my uber uber GOP sample. The poll had 9% more Democrats than Republicans. In NY the Democrats have a 25 point registration advantage. The gap on Election Day will be closer than the 25 point registration gap, but it sure as hell isn't going to be anywhere close to just 9.
4. The same pollster (Survey USA) just released a new poll on this race. It shows Gillibrand up by 19.
5. In fact ever since the one poll that showed the race a dead heat, six polls have come out. All six show Gillibrand up by double digits. The last three polls have her up by 19, 21 and 14.
