DCCC poll shows close race in 2nd Congressional District

[Quixote1818]

The Democratic campaign arm that seeks to flip the House released polling Tuesday that showed the race for the 2nd Congressional District in New Mexico is close.

The memo, released by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, shows Republican state Rep. Yvette Herrell leads Democratic water attorney Xochitl Torres Small 45 percent to 43 percent in the Republican-leaning district. The release also looked at polling in ten other congressional districts.

A memo, credited to DCCC chairman and New Mexico’s U.S. Representative in the 3rd Congressional District Ben Ray Luján, says the polling shows Democrats will be competitive in districts even where President Donald Trump won in 2016.

This includes New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District, which Trump won 50.1 percent to 39.9 percent. Republican nominees Mitt Romney and John McCain also won the district in 2008 and 2012, though by smaller margins.

1. Good!

Our Dem candidate needs to run ads that show her Republican opponent as she claimed with glee that she is a "Trump Republican" and then simultaneously show pictures of these migrant kids and play the audio tape. I think it will get a lot closer than 2 percentage points. I donated some money to Ms. Torres Small, even though I don't live in that district. We need to flip every red seat we can, and this is the only national seat that has been red in our state for many years.
