"Two private polls conducted in a swing New York House district and reviewed by POLITICO — one in September and another in March — found former President Donald Trump leading Biden there by 1 point, a virtual tie. And public polls over the last four months found Biden’s lead had winnowed to just 8 points across New York — an unusually narrow gap in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.
“We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been,” Democratic Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said. “I truly believe we’re a battleground state now.”
A Biden lead of 8 points in a state he carried by 23 in 2020 is a huge loss of support.

I hate Donald Trump with the passion of 1,000 suns, but I am getting tired of him being right about stuff, in his own wrong way.
He spouted off some nonsense about Fani Willis’ “boyfriend”, which we all thought was the dementia talking, until his lawyers brought the receipts.
He spouted off about how the Supreme Court would bail him out of the NY charges, and we all thought that couldn’t happen, until that ruling came out and it did happen, at least temporarily.
I specifically remember reading a link saying that Trump said NY would be in play, and we all dismissed it, and now this.
Whoever is feeding Trump his info is spot-on.
