Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and New York billionaire Donald Trump are nearly tied for the top spot in the presidential primary race among New Mexico Republicans, with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida a close third, according to a Journal poll.
The poll conducted last week by Research & Polling Inc. found that Cruz had the support of 25 percent of New Mexico Republicans who are likely to vote in the 2016 presidential primary election, while 24 percent of the poll respondents favored Trump.
Rubio was the preferred candidate of 19 percent of New Mexico Republicans.
Seventeen percent of those responding said they were still undecided about the field of GOP candidates.

By then it will be a meaningless contest.
I believe you are correct.
Cruz doing well here. May be able to consolidate votes.
17% undecided.
Poll taken before SC primary.
Bush no longer in the race.
Seems outdated already.
That is our state's motto.
LOL
I live in NM and loathe our primary date. Absolutely meaningless. FU GOPe!
Haha. So true.
At least we don’t have Bill Richardson to “kick around anymore”.
Well, I live in upstate NY. Ours is completely pointless due to NYC. Democrat. You’re welcome.
I do not see any good reason why all 50 state primaries are held on ONE SATURDAY sometime in May. That still leaves 6 months to hold conventions and campaign for the general in November.
