12. I still have hope for Arizona ...

I am still trying to get people to switch to Obama, I am making progress with some, it's down to the "experience" thing.

I also got a few people, especially young ones, to register.

If not for hopeless Utah, we could turn the entire South West BLUE.

7. More and more people are moving into New Mexico's cities

and because it is one of the fastest growing states along with Nevada, it is becoming more and more progressive. Hell, Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame recently moved her.

8. Great! Never thought it was in real danger

I like the margin, since 2004 had "no vote for President" a lot that made no sense.

9. STRONG

Nice poll. Thanks for posting it.

I guess ScottyRazz's fake poll showing NM supposedly in play has been pretty thoroughly discredited at this point. Sadly, this happens to him every election cycle; as November approaches, more outfits start doing polls, many of them have actual integrity and methodology, and he falls off the radar as he can no longer force the narrative.

10. That's very good news. NM may be critical if Obama cannot win OH or FL.

Really looks like the polls are all turning in Obama's favor now that the Palin bubble has burst.

11. Yippeeee!

I've been a little worried about NM. I have more confidence in Survey USA polls than in any of the others.

13. So McCain's base in NM is ignorant old white rich folks?

I think that fits the definition of Repub.

[Canuckistanian]

14. Good news

electoral-vote.com has NM's 5 electoral votes in the "barely GOP" category right now.

I'll be glad to see a blue border around that state now.
