(N.M.) Poll: Lujan Grisham has sizable lead over Pearce for governor

5. It's not so much a "down ballot effect" as it is a "trump and martinez effect".

Lujan-Grisham is inheriting an environment where the Republican brand is toxic, due to both Trump and our two term Repub governor.

Eight years ago, Martinez won because the outgoing Dem governor, Bill Richardson, was seen as detached and blamed for a suffering economy that was clearly driven by W, rather than Richardson. She was also riding the Tea Party wave of 2010.

She basically has been a worthless governor.

Our only Red district today is District 2, where I live. This Southern district is filled with Texas transplants. The seat is open because the worthless Repub Trump-loving scum is now running for governor, which he will lose (thank God). This has left the seat open. The Democrat is only 1% behind, which is a statistical tie. With a lot of effort, money and a little luck, she will pull off a win and our state will be all Democrats in Congress with a Democratic Governor and a Democratic State Senate.
