ABQ Journal poll shows Lujan-Grisham leading Arnold-Jones

Democratic 1st Congressional District candidate Michelle Lujan Grisham has maintained a wide lead over Republican Janice Arnold-Jones as the Nov. 6 election nears, according to a new ABQ Journal Poll.  

Lujan Grisham, a former Bernalillo County commissioner and state Cabinet secretary, was favored by 51 percent of likely voters or voters who already have cast an early ballot, according to a Journal Poll taken Oct. 23-25.

Arnold-Jones, a small-business owner and former state representative, was backed by 36 percent of likely voters. Thirteen percent of voters were undecided. 

In New Mexico’s two other U.S. House districts, incumbents Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, and Steve Pearce, a Republican, had significant leads over their challengers, the Journal Poll found.
