The 8 percent undecided voters will go for Romney at the end, undecideds always break for the challenger
I’ve noticed Obama has started falling back to earth in gallup, over the weekend his approval was up by 11 points, today it’s 6 points, he’s fallen 5 points overnight, by the end of the week he will be back to his pre-convention numbers.
Bill Clinton was impeached in his second term.
Totally misleading spin. NM is supposed to be a solidly blue state that it is this close is bad new for 0.
Obama “edging” Romney in New Mexico is devastaging news for the Zero campaign.
How about something like: “Looks like Romney's going to win New Mexico—Obama campaign panicked!”
Has Romney even been running ads in New Mexico?
NM is a Democrat state, especially with the current Latino voter trends. The fact that NM is tightening is really, really interesting. Add this to WI, MI, IA and others, and the states that had a great Republican year in 2010 are looking like they are still trending well in our direction.
Loos like Romney is comfortably ahead with anglos.
This blue state should already be in Obama's pocket but it could be a pick-up for Romney.
New Mexico would be a huge pickup for the GOP. Don’t forget that Republican Susana Martinez won the governorship there in 2010 and she’s doing a great job there.

Only fifty-six percent support for Obama from New Mexico Hispanics? That’s, what, an eleven percent drop from ‘08?
New Mexico does this every election cycle in an attempt to exaggerate its own importance to the point that its politican gods might deign to stop over every now and then rather than just fly over.
Clinton was here a lot, largely because the adoring Chicanas presented an opportunity.
There are so few people, so few electoral votes and so little interest in getting rid of the patron system that has prevailed for 400 years that these stories about New Mexico suddenly turning into a swing state every time there is a national election is ludicrous. It is a blue state in a sea of red.
There are people here still arguing over the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe / Hidalgo; there are regularly counties with more voter turnout than residents; and it regularly takes the major counties weeks and months to tally the votes because the dead or illegal voters are old, slow, stupid or need a ride. There was an argument at the time Congress was debating whether or not to admit New Mexico to the Union. There was a large faction convinced that New Mexico lacked the innate ability most other states exhibited to govern itself.
There was a lot of truth in that argument then and now.
It wouldn't surprise me if there are precinct judges that are dead or illegal.
I expect a real push by the Catholics closer to the election.
Gary Johnson playing spoiler?
They are ... New mexico is in play... but the libertarians will keep it in the D column. if that happens in Virginia as well ... then you can thank the 3rd party vote for delivering another Obama term.
Remember, Clinton NEVER won a majority of the vote ... he never had to.
