I did not follow the New York race that much, but I wondered about Cuomo's weak result in the election. He lost more than eight percentage points compared to 2010; which was, of course, not a Democratic friendly year (in contrast, Jerry Brown, Governor of another deep blue state, gained six points).
Why performed Cuomo that weak in this race? I doubt that Rob Astorino is the reason for this. In some polls during spring and summer, Cuomo stood at 65-70%. What happened with him? Did the primary challange cost him so much support? I still regret, that David Paterson was not able to be reelected in 2010.
