New poll finds Trump gaining on Clinton in New Mexico

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.

“This might also explain Trump’s campaign appearance in Arizona tomorrow.”

Trump is literally everywhere. He had a rally in my area north of Phoenix not too long ago. And where I live everybody has a gun and a dog and supports our excellent congressman, Paul Gosar. Trump came here anyway, when he already has our votes.

That’s possible.

I see absolutely zero Hillary bumper stickers here in deep blue fairfax county.

But there are plenty of yard signs for her. (they outnumber trump signs by 20-1.)

This wikileaks stuff though is over the top. I think the wikileaks will blow off all hillary support but her hard core. The reports are getting into the main stream media.

I find many Hispanic women are radical feminists. What I mean by that is when non Hispanic women were on the feminist bandwagon big time years ago the Hispanic women of that time that I knew were not interested. Now I find Hispanic women ages 18-about 45 are pretty outspoken feminists in a way I haven’t heard others talk in about 40 years other than hardcore feminist leadership.

One of my daughter’s Hispanic friends hit me over the head with this recently. A man she had been dating for a couple of years was ready to talk marriage...she broke up with him instead. She said he told her he didn’t want children raised by day care. She said she took this to mean he expected her to give up her career to stay home and clean house and raise the children. I asked her if he said that, she said no she ended the conversation when he said that. She said she told him if he expected to marry a woman that would stay home and scrub the floors on her hands and knees and raise a house full of children like her mother did he needed to go to Mexico to find a wife.

I was shocked because I know many married couples that work out child care issues and don’t give up careers. My daughter told me all of her Hispanic friends are like that; independent, career focused feminists; they are pretty radical to the point they don’t plan to marry.
