NM-01: Heinrich Leads White By Three in New Poll

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research for Martin Heinrich (6/29-7/2, likely voters):

Martin Heinrich (D): 47

Darren White (R): 44

(MoE: ±4.4%)

As far as I’m aware, this is the first publicly-released poll of this race. Considering that White probably has higher name recognition as the sheriff of Bernalillo County, this isn’t a bad starting point for Heinrich.

SSP currently rates this race as a Tossup.

UPDATE: I stand corrected! On the NRCC’s website, they’re still touting a Public Opinion Strategies poll from October that has White leading Heinrich by a whopping 18-points. So much for White being “untouchable”.

  1. heard any fundraising numbers from either?  I know Heinrich raised about 100K during the last few weeks, but Bush held a 300K fundraiser for White at some point I think.

  2. I was expecting White to have a slight lead,

    Perhaps even the Republican’s top recruit can’t fight off the bad environment for his party

  3. My wife is working on this campaign and she is telling me that Heinrich maintains a 7 point lead but that the polling firm wanted to be conservative. I argued with a couple of the staffers (including the old lady) regarding the validity of their saying Heinrich maintained a 7-point lead but they insisted that it was the truth.

    Not sure what to make of that, but either way it’s a good thing.

    Even though I care about this race, I gotta say that the NM-2 district seems much more important this cycle. The Dems will win NM-1 one of these days no matter what. The district has trended blue for years and will only lean more Dem as the years go by. NM-2 offers a great opportunity for Dems to pick off an open seat that is marginally Republican. Teague is a good fit for the district and could probably hold it for a few cycles.

    Anyways, since I’m out yakking it up, I might as well start pimping.
