SurveyUSA: Democrat Way Ahead In Race For Open GOP Senate Seat In New Mexico

Democrats can be pretty confident for now about picking up a new Senate seat in the Southwest this Fall, with a new SurveyUSA poll of the New Mexico Senate race showing Democratic Congressman Tom Udall beating both Republicans by very wide margins for this open GOP-held seat:

Udall (D) 60%, Pearce (R) 36%
Udall (D) 61%, Wilson (R) 35%

Sample size: 1,827 registered voters.
Margin of error: ±2.3%

In the Republican primary subset, the more conservative Congressman Steve Pearce leads Congresswoman Heather Wilson by a 49%-46% margin, within the ±4.8% margin of error. But with these general election figures, any arguments over electability may well be moot.
