The pin stripe state
The Yankees are again the favorite sports team among New Yorkers, according to a Siena poll out today.
Forty-five percent of respondents in the poll said the Yankees were either their favorite or second favorite team. Next up: the Giants, at 29 percent, and the Mets, 22 percent. The full lineup is after the jump. (Poor, Jets...)
MMA
The poll also asked people whether they support or oppose legalization of mixed-martial arts. Among all the respondents, legalization was favored 44-31. Among respondents identified as sports fans, it was 53-27. And among people ages 18-34, it was 71-16.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
Comments
Pretty small sample size - 800 respondents, 40% of which don't "consider themselves sports fans." So that's just over 400 that might be "qualified" to answer. It's interesting, but I'd like to see more answers to have a better picture. (No arguing the top result, though.)
