David Lombardo is reporting for the Times Union a new Siena College Research Institute poll found that New Yorkers think the country's political climate is more divided than ever. Sixty-five percent of respondents believe their fellow Americans are more partisan than ever, while 26 percent think the divide between liberals and conservatives has stayed the same. Approximately one in four state residents define themselves as centrists on social, economic, health care and environmental issues, Siena College Research Institute Director Don Levy said. Among those surveyed, 60 percent believe that Donald Trump has contributed to "unhealthy levels of political partisanship." New Yorkers, regardless of party affiliation, believe that social media, as well as cable and internet news, also produce negative levels of political partisanship. The poll was conducted between Sept. 3 and 24. Read the full story in the Times Union.
