I was shocked to see Carter win New York State in 1976. I thought Ford would have been a better fit for the state than Carter at that time. Did Carter win the state because of the black vote in NYC or because of Ford's pardon of Nixon or a combonation of both?

New York was blue then just not as much as it is now. It was light blue though. Ford would've been a better fit for the state, but that's not how New Yorkers vote.

But yeah, it's a Democratic-leaning state. Any reasonably close election and the Democrats were likely to win NY (Humphrey did in '68).


There you have it. The media!
