DemocraticRepublican

The New York DMA's sheer ad cost makes it an expensive target for statewide campaigns, while genuine competitiveness is concentrated in Long Island and the Hudson Valley exurbs rather than the five boroughs.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 35.0 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 37.1 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 12.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 13.6 points.

A population of 20,937,165, a 44% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $101,710 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Philadelphia and Chicago.
