I live in southern NY (where most people are voting democrat no matter what). I just came back from upstate ny (Catskill Region) and attended a party with over 50 people (most live upstate) and only 1 person out of all those people were voting for HRC (my husband) the rest were Trump... Apparently, all the farms (especially milk farms) are going under up there due to high tax rates.. This is in no way trying to even hint that Trump has a chance in NY because he does not, just food for thought!

Albany and surrounding areas are Democratic, but some of the more rural areas up there are quite Republican (especially Hamilton).

It would be interesting to see how Trump does in some of the upper middle class Republican areas of the NYC suburbs, such as Garden City, Manhasset and some areas of northern Westchester. The upper middle class Democratic areas such as Jericho, Roslyn, Scarsdale, etc are going to be a diaster for Trump, but it will be interesting to see if he does considerably worse than other Republicans in the well educated white collar GOP areas.

I live in an upper middle class area of Westchester (southern Westchester) and honestly more people than not say they are not voting for President and will vote for lower tickets only. I guess they feel HRC has it in the bag in NY and would rather not pull the lever for her themselves. Should definitely be interesting.

Default Breitbart thought the polls were biased against Trump. So it did its own poll. Clinton won.

Conservative outlet Breitbart News, which has earned a reputation as one of the most pro–Donald Trump sources in existence, has been dissatisfied with poll after poll that shows the Republican nominee losing to Hillary Clinton. So it commissioned its own poll — only to find that Clinton is in fact beating Trump. By 5 points.

The Breitbart/Gravis poll published Sunday found Clinton leading Trump 42 to 37 percent in a four-way contest with Green Party candidate Jill Stein (3 percent) and Libertarian Gary Johnson (9 percent).

all polls are biased, every one of them simply because the people answering the polls have a bias, its just a collection of biases vs 1 bias, but its still bias. bias is bias whether its 1 or a million.

The Trump supporters are now going to say that this was rigged.

Man. That's a lot of keystrokes just to say "I don't understand anything at all about how polls work."
