Democrats continue to hold about a 2-1 margin in registered voters statewide, but the number of independents has been growing until they accounted for 11.7 percent of total number of registered voters in the 2006 general election amounting to 133,555.
In the 1996 general election, independent and other registrations added up to 66,339 or 6.8 percent of registered voters.
While the total number of registered voters grew by 15 percent between 1996 and 2006, the number of independents grew by a little more than 50 percent.... (The Journal News)
