You're complaining...about an ACCURATE POLL?

Well Schumer did take over 70% of the vote the last time.

I don't believe he'll do that again, but unfortunately it's almost guaranteed that he will at least break 60% of the vote.

Will he win every county but one again?

     I kind of doubt that a random Republican sacrificial lamb will do that well against Schumer. This is New York, bear in mind.

No, I'm simply amused by an inaccurate one.

Rasmussen showed Schumer winning by a comparatively huge majority. You have nothing to whine about.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

I wonder how much of the 6% is going to Randy Credico.

I'm not whining but if you think Schumer is only 21 points ahead, you may need your head checked.

35% is just about the max any Republican is going to get in these top ticket races in NY. Perhaps 40%-ish in Gillibrand's case.

Schumer's staff joked at the time, because he had visited every county twice, that he lost that one county, as the least populous county in the state, because every voter there got the chance to meet him.

I have no problem believing Schumer will win by "only" 20-something points.  Something like 62-37 isn't out of the question. 

Actually, it's probably the most likely outcome assuming the Republicans and Conservatives agree on a candidate.  2004 was a bit of an outlier because it was a Presidential election year (higher turnout) and the Republican candidate wasn't cross-endorsed by the Conservative Party.  Plus, the national winds are against the Democrats this cycle.  And if all major NY races are expected to be blowouts come election day, Democratic turnout could suffer a little bit making the three big NY races a little closer than expected, but still double-digit blowouts.

How could anyone who's met Schumer like him? I've met him twice over the years and he's as slimy in person as he is on TV.

Where'd you meet him?

I met and shook hands with Schumer as a kid when he was first campaigning for the '98 Senate race outside of Yankee Stadium.

Then a few years later I met him again in a sky box at a Staten Island Yankee game, along with Sheldon Silver and some other assorted refuse.


I wasn't much into politics then, though.
