We, along with anyone even vaguely familiar with the west side of Midtown Manhattan, can predict now that President Barack Obama, along with down-ballot democrats, will win big in the neighborhood. We are not competing, nor can we, with pollsters like The New York Times’ Nate Silver, so we’ve chosen not to focus on the numbers of this election. Instead, we decided to take a different track. We hope to illuminate why residents in the area vote the way they do.These graphs and numbers are meant to complement and enhance our interviews with residents.
