New York is harder in statewide races but Massachusetts is harder to find winnable local or (especially) congressional races in. Voted New York because of the way the poll question is worded.

Well, it's easy to have more winnable congressional races when you have four times as many congressional districts. Tongue Still, it's undeniable that New York Republican have done a good job at preserving their strength in the State Legislature, while the MAGOP is in permanent minority status.

I can see arguments for either.  Voted New York.
