LEAKED POLL: New Mexico Turns from Blue to Purple

ALBUQUERQUE, JULY 3-According to a leaked internal poll from Open Labs, New Mexico has shifted from a solid blue state to a more competitive purple state, with Donald J. Trump holding a narrow lead over Joe Biden. The poll is sending shockwaves across the nation, showing Trump with an advantage in most battleground states. The leaked internal poll reveals a growing silent majority of New Mexicans who are ready to vote for change and move the state and country in a different direction.

The weakness at the top of the Democratic Party ticket is already impacting down-ballot Democrats such as Rep. Gabe Vasquez and Sen. Martin Heinrich, who still refuse to abandon their allegiance to Biden.

On the other hand, Republicans like Nella Domenici and Yvette Herrell are gaining momentum by offering common-sense solutions to address the critical issues facing New Mexico families like the cost of living, the border crisis, rising crime, and the lack of relief for state wildfire victims.

Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce said, "This shift shows that the Democratic Party has a weak presidential candidate and cannot escape from their failures on the issues. New Mexicans are fed up with rising inflation eating up their paychecks, making groceries unaffordable, and feeling unsafe due to the open border and crime. New Mexico has turned from blue to purple, but these will still be very close races in November. We are ramping up all of our efforts to get New Mexicans out to vote. We have 125 days to send our strong slate of candidates to deliver more for New Mexico families. We are not taking anything for granted."
