New Mexico Senate: Democrat Tom Udall has Wide lead over Both Republicans in Open Senate race.

[MadBadger]

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in New Mexico shows that Democratic Congressman Tom Udall has widened his lead over potential Republican opponents in the race for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat.

Udall now leads Republicans Steve Pearce 54% to 40% and Heather Wilson 56% to 36%.

Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, Udall has a twelve-point advantage over Pearce. Udall leads Wilson 52% to 33% in that category.

Last month, Udall had an eight-point lead over Pearce and a seven-point lead over Wilson.

The candidates are seeking to replace retiring Republican Senator Pete Domenici. New Mexico is one of several states where Democrats hope to pick up Senate seats in 2008. Other prospects include Virginia, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Colorado, and Alaska.

In New Mexico, Udall is now viewed favorably by 62% and unfavorably by just 29%. Wilson’s numbers are 53% favorable, 52% unfavorable. Pearce is viewed favorably by 49% and unfavorably by 40%.

6. This is great!

will partially offset what I fear will be the election of Darren White to the house. (Sorry, as a lifelong Cubs fan, I'm genetically predisposed to pessimism). Does anyone know of any early polls indicating White is doing poorly? Because obviously I hope I'm wrong. But Tom will be a great senator after decades of the vile, inexplicably beloved "St. Pete"
