As of Sept. 30, 47 percent of registered voters in New Mexico were Democrats, 31 percent were Republicans, and 22 percent were independents or members of other parties. So to win statewide races in New Mexico, Republicans have to win Democratic and independent votes.
We won’t know how those in-person and absentee voters are voting in the presidential race or any other contest until the votes are tallied after the polls close on Nov. 8. But the most recent New Mexico poll may shed some light.
In that poll, about 17 percent of those surveyed said they associate with a party other than Democrat or Republican, or as independents. Trump was leading Clinton by 3 percent among that group.
The poll also found Trump winning more crossover votes. Twenty percent of Democrats said they supported Trump, while 13 percent of Republicans said they supported Clinton.
The survey, from ZiaPoll, also found Trump leading Clinton among voters between the ages of 18 and 34. While fewer young people are registered as Republicans, “Trump is seeing substantial support from the other parties represented within this voting block,” ZiaPoll’s polling memo states.
- Clinton leads Trump by 12 percent among Hispanic/Latino voters, but is about even with Caucasian/white and African-Americans voters
- Donald Trump leads Hilary Clinton among voters who are between 18 and 34 years old.
- The poll also shows there are more Democrats supporting Trump, 20 percent, than Republicans supporting Clinton, 13 percent.
That would be interesting, 2012 was 91-9 DEM breaking for Obama. So 20% would make it close.
Also, enthusiasm and turnout will be a factor. Advantage: Trump.
I pray NM joins the good side of the force. Otherwise, I am going to give up this wonderful climate and head next door to TX. The intelligencia libtards have moved in and ruined La Tierra de Encantada.
