In the wake of Amazon deciding to cancel plans to bring a new headquarters to New York in Long Island City, Probolsky Research conducted Field Focus Groups™ to gauge who New York residents blame for the deal falling apart. You can watch the video below.

Question: Who do you blame for Amazon canceling plans to bring their new headquarters to New York?

A majority, 55% say they blame elected officials.

Less than one-third, 31% say they blame Amazon.

And 14% say they don’t care.

New Yorkers have strong opinions about this subject, here are some key take-aways:
