New Mexico Survey of 500 Likely Voters

Conducted September 27, 2012

By Rasmussen Reports

*Please note that we split the survey to rotate the order of the candidates, so while half will hear the Republican first, the other half hears the Democrat mentioned first.

1* If the presidential election were held today, would you vote for Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama?

2* Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, or very unfavorable impression of Mitt Romney?

3* How would you rate your own personal finances these days?

4* Are your personal finances getting better these days, or worse?

5* I’m going to read you a short list of issues in the news. For each, please let me know which presidential candidate you trust more to handle that issue.

Economy

Health Care

National Security

Taxes

Energy Policy

6* How would you rate the job Barack Obama has been doing as president…do you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove, or strongly disapprove of the job he’s been doing?

NOTE: Margin of Sampling Error, +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence
