Well, honestly, this comment is only giving more credence to OP, since, apparently, the US average is 70% is much much worse than the 34% of NY.

EDIT: Haha, apparently the HN crowd is very quick to point out inconsistencies since the original comment has been up 2 minuites and there are already 3 comments pointing the same thing (and counting)

56% (22%+34%). Which is indeed lower than 70% but also note that the 70% is very unevenly distributed across states.

The numbers there are additive. (34 + 22) = 56%. Still lower than the national average, but not half.
