In the crayon-color politics of the United States, New York State is supposed to be partisan blue.
But a new Sienna College poll tied to likely voters as of Sept. 8 gives Sen. Barack Obama only a five-point lead as this point in the Empire State. That's hard to believe. But likely voters give McCain the edge in the kind of attributes wanted in the leader of the free world.
It's important to note that this poll was taken before the financial legs of this nation were taken out from under it during the past weekend of turmoil on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 500 points today.
Also, New York voters are prone to large surges in emotion and overreaction, as I witnessed from living and working four years up there. But former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is testament to a Republican who can appeal past the crayons and win.
So believe it or not about Sen. Obama's lead. Here is the poll:

Obamas sliding poll ratings are only the beginning of the end for a media created fraud with no experience and no clue how to fix Americas problems. Change, hope, unicorns and rainbows are all he can spout off, which have no substance or meaningful explainations. A lot of hot air from a junior Senator who has spent his entire political career campaigning for office.
