HEADLINE: NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

BODY:
New Yorkers value higher education, but Downstaters might value it a bit more than Upstaters, a recent poll by Cornell University's ILR Survey Research Institute suggests. The poll of 802 adults, which was taken before adoption of the state budget, found that 68 percent of respondents statewide selected higher education as a "high priority" in the budget. Breaking it down by region, 73 percent of Downstate residents did, compared with 59 percent of Upstaters.
