Journal poll: Martinez, Haaland, Sedillo Lopez in tight race
Former U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez held a razor-thin lead in a six-way primary race for the Democratic nomination in the Albuquerque-based 1st Congressional District, but Debra Haaland and Antoinette Sedillo Lopez were within striking distance.
And nearly a third of likely Democratic voters were still undecided.
Martinez had the support of 22 percent of likely Democratic voters in the poll, conducted May 20-24. Haaland, a former state Democratic Party chairwoman who would be the first Native American woman elected to the U.S. House, garnered 19 percent support. Sedillo Lopez, a former UNM law professor and civil rights activist, had 17 percent of Democratic support in the poll.
Rounding out the poll’s bottom three spots were Albuquerque City Councilor Pat Davis, who had the support of 5 percent of respondents, immigration lawyer Damian Lara, with 4 percent support, and Los Lunas businessman Paul Moya, who polled at 3 percent in the Journal survey.
The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
