“New Mexico is probably the state Bush took in 2004 that Barack Obama will have the easiest time winning this time around,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Part of this large lead may be a product of last week’s economic crisis but even if things return to normal this is a place where the Democrats are going to have a significant advantage.”Sarah Palin is not very popular with New Mexico voters. While 38% said her selection made them more likely to vote for John McCain, 46% said it made them less likely to do so. Among independents 47% said her place on the ticket made them less likely to vote Republican. Overall Barack Obama has a 16 point advantage with that demographic. Joe Biden is a slight net favorite for the Democrats, with 35% saying his choice makes them more likely to vote for Obama compared to 32% who say it makes them less likely to do so.
