The New York Suburbs have shifted to the Democrats strongly in the past few decades.
Look at New York in 1976 for example...Ford only lost by 4 points or so, and won Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk.
The Democrats have also made some inroads upstate, but it's not as significant as the trend in the suburbs.
If the Republican Party drops its harsh social conservatism, it could definitely make inroads in the suburbs and reverse the trend we've seen in the last decade or two.
