ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—A poll of more than 600 likely voters from around New Mexico finds that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has a 5-point edge over Republican challenger John McCain.
The poll, commissioned by the Albuquerque Journal, showed Obama had the support of 45 percent of likely voters surveyed while McCain was supported by 40 percent. An additional 14 percent were undecided, and 1 percent supported independent Ralph Nader.

Obama's advantage over McCain in the state was even larger among Hispanic, independent and younger voters, the Albuquerque Journal reported Sunday in a copyright story.

"Barack Obama has been on a roll in the last 10 days to two weeks," said Brian Sanderoff, president of Albuquerque-based Research & Polling Inc., which conducted the poll. He pointed out that Obama also was leading in the polls nationally last week.

Research & Polling conducted a telephone survey of 659 registered voters who said they are likely to vote on Nov. 4. The survey, conducted Sept. 29 through Oct. 2, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

4. What is going on with these polls where Obama has a smaller lead...

Than what he is winning among Independents?

Are these due to Democratic hold-outs, or are they drastically oversampling Republicans?
