News about the company's cancellation drew fiery responses from politicians, tech fans and others Thursday. "Absolutely disgraceful that @Amazon is driven from New York by left wing progressive politicians. Terrible loss of jobs for New York workers and New York economy," Rep. Pete King, R-N.Y., tweeted. Deputy Leader of the New York City Council James G. Van Bramer praised the community for "fighting together" against Amazon's HQ plan. A Quinnipiac University poll released in December found New York City voters support having an Amazon headquarters, by 57-26 percent.
