Barack Obama has opened his largest lead of the year over John McCain in New Mexico, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state.
Obama attracts 55% of the vote while McCain earns 42%. That’s a sizable improvement for the Democrat who led two weeks ago by a 49% to 44% margin.
Forty-nine percent (49%) believe Obama has run a generally positive campaign. Just 14% say the same of McCain. Thirty-five percent (35%) say this year’s campaign is more negative than most, but 51% say it’s about the same.
