Election Results For NY-9 from 1980 until 2010

Earlier today Debbie-Wasserman-Schultz stated straight faced:
“It’s (NY-9) a very difficult district for Democrats, its Democratic margins there tend to be the second lowest of all the districts in New York City."
Here's a breakdown of the last 16 elections:

1980 Geraldine Ferraro wins over Republican opposition by 65% to 35%.

1982: Geraldine Ferraro wins over Republican opposition 79% to 21%.

1984: Thomas Manton wins over Republican opposition 57% to 43%.

1986: Thomas Manton wins over Republican opposition 74% to 26%.

1988: Thomas Manton wins with no Republican opposition, 100% to 0%.

1990: Thomas Manton wins over Republican opposition 72.5% to 27.5%.

1992: Chuck Schumer wins with no Republican opposition, 100% to 0%

1994: Chuck Schumer wins over Republican opposition 75% to 25%.

1996: Chuck Schumer wins over Republican opposition 79% to 21%.

1998: Anthony Weiner wins over Republican opposition 73% to 27%.

2000: Anthony Weiner wins over Republican opposition 70% to 30%.

2002: Anthony Weiner wins over Republican opposition 67% to 33%.

2004: Anthony Weiner wins over Republican opposition 73% to 27%.

2006: Anthony Weiner wins with no Republican opposition, 100% to 0%.

2008: Anthony Weiner wins with no Republican opposition, 100% to 0%.

2010: Anthony Weiner wins over Republican opposition (Bob Turner), 64% to 36% (HT Recovering_Democrat at FR).

That's an average of 78D to 22R.

Her statement was beyond ludicrous. If every other Congessional District in the country would show the sea change toward Republicans that this election exhibited, The Dems will lose another 150 seats in 12.
