Is New York Purple Again?

Siena Research Institute released a new poll today and it shows Obama's lead diminishing. Obama had a lead in the Empire State as high as 18 points and now it is just 5 points.

Michael Bloomberg still tops Paterson in a horse race match up for Guv and he has a higher favorable rating than Paterson.

Obama's signs of trouble are the same signs for the New York State Senate Democrats. Voters by an overwhelming margin favored Democratic control of the Senate in May of this year, 48% favored Dems and 39% favored GOP. Now, the voters, who once favored control to be flipped to the Democrats, are split at 44% each.

Odd, there is a Rasmussen poll out today that shows Obama up in NY by over 13 points. Just wondering why you have posted those poll results. Guess it doesn't fit in with your world view.

suspiciously, there's also been no mention on this blog of recent movement in the national polls towards obama. gallup has obama up 47-45 today. the rcp composite has mccain up 45.9-45.3, but mccain's lead has been steadily shrinking. and the pollster.com composite has obama back on top today, 46.2-45.
