Gary Johnson takes fewer votes from Barack Obama than from the Republicans in New Mexico and takes about half the "undecided" respondents.  Of course I would like to see this poll for other states.

President Obama would lose one of the keys of the Lichtmann test (absence of a third-Party challenge), but Johnson would likely hurt Republicans more.  Maybe he would pick off a few electoral votes.

Dont know why some still call NM a swing state. Demographics have moved it to at least a lean D.

I thought that maybe Johnson might pull more from Obama's youth base with his promises to legalize pot, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Legalization of pot matters far less than does the alleviation of economic distress. I'm not sure that young adults are exactly pro-drug anyway.
