NM-Sen: Rasmussen Poll Confirms Udall Up Huge

Sat May 17, 2008 at 01:01:41 AM PDT

The title at Swing State Project says it all -- Udall Eats Republicans for Breakfast.  While the title may not help Udall with the niche anti-cannibal crowd (and vegetarians, I suppose), it does get its point across.

Just a day after a poll which showed Udall significantly ahead of both Republicans, a Rasmussen poll shows the gap is narrower -- but still very significant.

The Rasmussen Poll results are as follows.  In parentheses are the results from the April 8 Rasmussen poll.  No word on MOE, but I assume it is at or near the +/- 4.5 percent of previous polls by this outfit.

Originally at New Mexico FBIHOP

Tom Udall (D): 53 (54)
Steve Pearce (R): 37 (40)

Tom Udall (D): 57 (56)
Heather Wilson (R): 36 (36)

Udall "only" leads by 16 and 21 points in this poll.  In the polls released yesterday, Udall was ahead by 24 percent and 26 percent, respectively.

While the full results are only available to premium readers currently, it's hard to have any detailed analysis about the poll.

And for SSP: Seriously, let me break one of these for once.  Thanks.
