OT As a whole, NYC is heavily Democratic and Liberal. The suburbs are mixed with a strong bias toward Moderate Republicanism. Upstate NY is also biased towards Moderate Republicanism. But 40% of New York State comes from NYC. In recent elections, the suburbs and upstate NY have been very turned off by the right wing social agenda of the Republican Party. The Republicans in NY and on the East Coast in general are very Moderate: they are tilted toward the conservative on economic issues but very liberal on social issues. Above all, they are not ideological but pragmatic on economic issues. IMO the National Republican Party Platform has become a big problem for most of the Republicans out here. Many of them basically run on their own agenda and openly repudiate many of the principles on the National Republican Party Platform. Many of the Republicans on the East Coast openly supported Clinton in the past 2 Elections. I think the Republican Party Platform is completely out of touch with the principles of many of the Republicans on the East Coast. Governor Petake from NY, a Republican, has openly stated that the National Republican Party Platform should take a "laissez faire" stance on social issues and not interfere with those sorts of personal decisions.
