A new poll finds that Kamala Harris leads in New Mexico by six points, a decrease of two points since the last poll from the same pollster.
The poll by SurveyUSA, conducted for KOB-TV, found that Harris, the Democrat, leads Republican Donald Trump 50 percent to 44 percent among likely voters.
The previous poll, conducted in September, found Harris led 50 percent to 42 percent.
According to the polling memo, Harris leads among those who have already voted.
“Among those who have already voted, Harris leads by 40 points,” the memo states. “Among those who tell SurveyUSA they are certain to vote, she leads by 8. Among those who say they will probably vote, Trump leads by 7, leaving his final tally uncertain, as some of those Trump-leaning probable voters – 20% of the likely voters in the survey – may stay home.”
In the October poll, Harris maintained a large lead among female voters, with 55 percent backing the Democrat compared to 37 percent who said they would vote for Trump. Trump, however, led among male voters 51 percent to 45 percent.
Trump has campaigned for the votes of Hispanic voters, though he still trails Harris among them, 53 percent to 38 percent. The Republican nominee leads among white voters, 52 percent to 42 percent.
Moderate voters overwhelmingly back Harris, with 58 percent saying they will vote for the Democratic nominee, compared to just 33 percent who say they will vote for Harris. Trump leads 84 percent to 14 percent among conservative voters and Harris leads 89 percent to 7 percent among liberal voters.
According to the October poll, 43 percent of registered voters approved of President Joe Biden’s job performance, while 54 percent disapproved.
The poll also found that 49 percent of registered voters approved of Harris’ job performance as Vice President, compared to 47 percent who disapproved.
The poll also found that 51 percent of respondents approved of Gov. MIchelle Lujan Grisham’s job performance, compared to 42 percent who disapproved.
SurveyUSA conducted the poll between Oct. 28 and Oct. 31. The poll surveyed 681 registered voters for some questions and 632 likely voters for the presidential test. The presidential ballot question has a margin of error of +/- 5.5 percentage points, while the other questions have a margin of error of +/- 5.2 percentage points. The pollster reached out to those via landline using a recorded voice, or via smartphone, laptop or tablet for those without a landline.
