Hillary's share of the votes DECREASED SLIGHTLY THIS YEAR.

If Hillary were really a strong candidate, the candidate we need, she would have won by a much larger margin in her "home state," the state she has represented in Congress.

Fact is, Hillary did not do that well.

Democrats are still way ahead in New York, but Hillary is not as popular among Democrats as she was in 2008.

And Bernie is more popular in New York than Obama was -- both in raw numbers and in percentages. The differences are not uuuge, but they are there. There were more candidates in the contest, but still, Obama only won 40.3% of the votes, 751,019 raw votes to Bernie's 42% or 763,469 raw votes

Bernie is a very, very strong candidate. No one should underestimate him.

Hillary is weaker than she was in 2008, and she was not popular enough then.

And thanks to New York's disenfranchising election laws, Hillary probably did better than she would have had more people who were not registered as Democrats by the October deadline been able to change and join the Democratic Party before election day.

Feel the Bern!

Cause from these numbers, I'd say that voters in New York are feeling it much more than the election numbers show. And more than they felt the Obama fever.
