Why are they polling this race?
I'm not sure I've actually written this before. But this is at least the thousandth time I've thought it in response to a comment here, and it bears saying:
POLLING IS USEFUL FOR REASONS OTHER THAN OBSESSIVE NATIONAL PUNDITRY. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT POLLS EXISTING.
I agree with this. I've actually had some legitimate questions of my own about how Gillibrand's recent posturing and policy flip-flops might have even a minor effect on her performance as compared to 2012. Will she break 70% this time? And will there be any kind of Republican trend in upstate New York?
