Rothenberg predicts Dems will gain in New York, says Gillibrand favored to win

Non-partisan political analyst Stuart Rothenberg lists two Republican congressional districts in New York state as “Democrat favored” in November’s election.

Two other New York House districts held by the GOP are rated as toss-ups that are tilting Republican.

If Rothenberg is correct, the Empire state could well account for 20-40% of all Democratic gains in the House nationwide.

The once mighty party of Pataki and D’Amato has fallen hard — and they’ve fallen fast.

For the record, Rothenberg also says Democratic incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand is favored to win the 20th CD match-up with Essex County Republican Sandy Treadwell.
