If you want to really know the liberal/conservative composition of NY,
go look
at the election result maps (usually printed in NYT) for senatorial or
presidential elections.
The most informative ones may have been in 2000 & 2004. Upper man &
bronx when blue, the
rest of the city was red.
I would also point out that Bloomberg was registered DEM until he
decided to run for mayor
in 2001, when he switch to REP. Someone pointed out to me that in 2009
he ran as independent
( he made the switch in 2007).
