Newsday talked to Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, about the New York Senate race between incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand and Republican Mike Sapraicone. Even though polls show that Gillibrand has a double-digit lead over Sapraicone, she is raising millions of dollars and investing in television ads to ensure her reelection.
