As in most states, Obama polls better among women in New Mexico than men. He has an eleven-point lead among women, and just a seven-point lead among men. Those numbers have shown little change since last month.

Obama’s support comes from72% of Democrats in New Mexico and 15% of Republicans. McCain is backed by 76% of Republicans and 18% of Democrats. When it comes to unaffiliated voters, Obama has a 41% to 34% advantage. The results in that demographic are nearly identical to last month’s numbers.

Looks like the Democratic defections are staving off a bit. Obama does almost as well among Democrats now as McCain does among Republicans. For some reason, they did not break this out by race...I'd be curious what the Latino vote was.

4. In New Mexico???

Wow...that is suppose to be McCant territory, right? He is from Arizona...so I would think there would be a lot of New Mexicans for him just because.

Thanks for the good news...:hi:

7. Oh no Hepburn-New Mexico is Obama territory

Not McBush territory at all. Mccain is strong only in Arizona, Utah, and Nevada in the entire pacific northwest and southwest.

13. Thanks for the info. I have an old pal in NM...

...and he is sooooooooo conservative, he makes McCain look liberal...so I often think of NM as being a rather conservative state.

:hi: And welcome to the DU!

6. The Latinos will never vote Republican as long as they are talking about building the wall

that really pisses them off. Even if McCain seems friendly to Hispanics they don't trust the Republican party. They have heard a lot of prejudice crap coming from the right as well.

8. Yay....K & R!

9. Woot!

That does not surprise me for northern NM, but for the south, this is quite a change!
