Young people and independents are helping Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump remain competitive with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in New Mexico, a new poll finds.
Clinton led Trump five 5 percentage points, 45-40, heading into the final stretch of the campaign, according to the survey, which was conducted Monday. Support for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, New Mexico’s former governor, dropped in the new poll to 9 percent.
The statewide survey of 1,899 likely voters was conducted by ZiaPoll. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.25 percent.
Peaking just at the right time...
Hillary is slipping, slidin’ and whirlin’.
Like sink water circling around the drain.
All good news from here on in. As of Nov. 8 I give Hillary the eastern seaboard from VA north, DC, the west coast, and Hawaii. That’s it.
No way the ‘L’ candidate is going to get 9% of the vote!
I already voted Trump, if he wins NM I’ll wear a trashcan over my head(like serpent head did) And I’ll like it!!
Don't be too sure about Virginia, either. GOP candidates tend to close fast toward Election Day. The race in the Old Dominion will be far closer than what we're seeing.
Virginia tightening up? Wasn’t Tim Kaine as the VP candidate supposed to nail down Virginia? Is Kaine not as popular in his own state as Democrats would have us believe????
I wondered about Illinois before I left it off my list, but you can’t steal a landslide.
In my opinion there is nothing Hellary can do to recover. Her negatives are just too overwhelming. Wikileaks was death by a million cuts. She’s a non candidate.
I agree about Virginia. The key thing that many people don't see is how close Gillespie and Cuccinelli were in their elections (with Cuccinelli having virtually no organized support). Virginia I believe still leans right with a good candidate.
I don't know the reason, but I remember during the primary that sociologist was saying that Trump was doing so well in the Republican primary among Hispanic men because he played well to their cultural "machismo" basically they respect a candidate that talks and acts hyper-masculine and comes across as a tough guy, on the other side of the coin, I doubt an elderly women who can barely stand is exactly going to rally them.
Interesting quote from the poll:
Just over 17 percent of likely voters in New Mexico say they associate with a party other than Republican or Democrat. Trump is leading Clinton by 3 percent among this group of Independent and other party voters. The poll also shows there are more Democrats supporting Trump, 20 percent, than Republicans supporting Clinton, 13 percent
Yep, they shot their wad.
I bet properly adjusted this is a Trump win.
It’s the young folks whose futures are really on the line. They will go
For Mr Trump — they want a future And they’re smart. They can see HilLIARy will keep on with Obama s destruction or weakening of America and our economy ( jobs!)
Bingo. All the “women” stuff? It actually works with AA men and Hispanics.
