Another Fan Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) http://news.wbfo.org/post/study-finds-buffalo-9th-most-liberal-city-america Per that study anyway. Sorry if this was mentioned before I tend to lurk more than post on this part of the site. Actually I was some what surprised. If this is any representation of Buffalo this part of the site slants more Republican/conservative imo. However I’d imagine people in general who are football fans may lean conservative.

The city, yes. The balance of Erie County and surrounding counties I would guess still lean Republican and/or Conservative. Just like the City of Rochester is very liberal and the congressional seat that serves the majority of it has been occupied by liberals such as the late Louise Slaughter.

B-Man Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I agree, it does seem a little high for Buffalo. Even when you click on the original Forbes article, it doesn't explain how they reach their rankings. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If NYC is 8th then Buffalo can't be 9th. There's no way that's possible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberals are supposed to be progressive but Buffalo in many ways is anything but progressive. Unless you want to make this 100 percent about personal choice. 1 minute ago, B-Man said: I agree, it does seem a little high for Buffalo.

From 2015... no Chicago, Austin, NYC only one spot above Buffalo - even with Staten Island (an R stronghold) the other four boroughs are pretty darn liberal... and populated? Weird rankings. From the original article: (there isn't a link to the Economist article or the MIT study)New York City may be less liberal than you thought. At least according to The Economist, which pulled data from an MIT study on how city governments reflect their constituents’ politics to produce a ranking of cities with populations of over 250,000. As The Economist asked (quite British-ly), “Would people expect Washington, DC, to come second, ahead of Seattle (where it is legal to smoke pot) or the Democratic stronghold of Boston?” As several articles have pointed out, though, the real takeaway was first called out by the PEW Research Center and then elaborated on by Vox: the most conservative cities are skewed toward being more liberal than one might expect. The how-much-wood-could-a-woodchuck-chuck way to say this is: the most conservative cities are not as conservative as the most liberal cities are liberal. This is what the original Forbes article said about Buffalo: Buffalo refers to itself as the “City of Light” both because of the plentiful hydroelectric power made possible by nearby Niagara Falls and because it was the first city in America to have electric street lights. The region’s largest economic sectors are health care and education, their growth maintained, in part, by major expansions of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and The University at Buffalo.
