President Barack Obama leads Republican Mitt Romney by 10 points in the race for New Mexicos five electoral votes, with about three weeks remaining before Election Day, the Journal Poll found.
The Democratic president had 49 percent support in the statewide survey of likely voters, and some who had already voted, compared with 39 percent of voters who said they preferred Romney.
Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee for president, had 6 percent support in the survey. Five percent of New Mexico voters were undecided.
The Journal Poll was conducted Oct. 9-11. The margin of sampling error for the statewide sample of voters is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points. Early voting for the Nov. 6 general election started Oct. 9.

That is 100% true

Those people do not want the freebies to stop.
Certainly looks that way.
