\"\"<\/a>A new Albuquerque Journal poll<\/a> confirms that Pat Lyons is gaining slightly on Jim Baca in the land commissioner race. <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The gain wasn\u2019t unexpected. Fundraising by Republican incumbent Lyons<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> dwarfs that of Baca, the Democratic challenger.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

In the newest poll, 42 percent supported Baca and 40 percent supported Lyons<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>, with 18 percent undecided.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In early October, a Journal poll<\/a> had Baca up four points. In August, another poll<\/a> had him up five points. The newest poll surveyed 800 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

This continues to be the hottest statewide race. Baca has a slight lead, but Lyons<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> has more money to spend in the next two weeks. Look for this one to keep us up late on election night. If you haven\u2019t yet decided how you\u2019ll vote in this race, it\u2019s time to start paying attention.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While we\u2019re on the subject of polls, another Journal poll<\/a> confirmed this weekend that Democratic challenger Patricia Madrid has pulled ahead of Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., in the 1st<\/sup> Congressional District race.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The poll had Madrid<\/st1:state> with 45 percent of the vote and Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> with 42, with nine percent undecided. The poll surveyed 503 registered voters between Oct. 17 and 19, and has a margin of error of 4.4 percent.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The poll confirms the trend toward Madrid<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>. Earlier this month, a Reuters\/Zogby poll<\/a> had Madrid<\/st1:state> up 50-40 percent, and a poll done by SurveyUSA and KOB-TV<\/a> had Madrid<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> up 53-45 percent.<\/p>\n

A poll by RT Strategies\/Cook Political Report<\/a> had Madrid<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> ahead 52-44 percent.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The last poll<\/a> by Brian Sanderoff, who did the newest poll for the Journal, had the candidates tied at 44 percent in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
