A new Emerson College Polling/KRQE News 13 poll of the Democratic Primary for Governor finds former United States Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland leading Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, 40% to 24%, while 36% are undecided.

“Deb Haaland holds plurality support headed into the June Primary for Governor, driven by a 24-point advantage among women, leading Bregman 42% to 18% and a 30-point lead among voters with college degrees, leading 53% to 23%,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “Men break for Haaland by a narrower margin: 38% support Haaland and 31% Bregman, and voters without a college degree are split: 28% support Haaland and 25% Bregman.”

Registered Democrats break for Haaland, 48% to 23%, while independent voters participating in the Democratic Primary break for Bregman, 28% to 17%; a majority of independents are undecided (56%).

In the Republican Primary for Governor, 21% support Rio Rancho Mayor Greggory Hull, 10% former New Mexico cabinet secretary and cannabis CEO Duke Rodriguez, and 9% former New Mexico Judicial Standards Commission Chair Doug Turner. A majority of voters (61%) are undecided.
