It Don’t Mean a Thing if New Mexico Loses That Swing
Read the whole thing.
New Mexico is no longer a swing state in the presidential contest.
That’s the conclusion of the latest Public Policy polling survey of New Mexico voters. According to the PPP news release:
Barack Obama defeated John McCain by 15 points there in 2008, and the polling so far suggests a similar outcome is likely this fall. PPP’s newest poll finds Obama ahead of Mitt Romney 54-40 in the state. That’s changed little from when we polled the state in December and found Obama up 53-38.
And even though our GOP governor Susana Martinez is one of the nation’s most popular governors,”A Romney/Martinez slate still trails Obama/Biden by a 53-42 margin,” PPP says. (Martinez has repeatedly said she’s not interested in the nomination.)
[…]
Obama’s good statistics are due to high support among women, Hispanics and young people, PPP says.

Steve Terrell’s blog and/or Twitter are good places to follow New Mexico politics, with a splash of music on the side.
