NM: Public Policy Polling: Obama's lead down to 4-5 points

[MorningInAmerica]

LOL at everyone whining about the crosstabs. This poll is D+19! But Romney doesn't have a chance, huh?

Even more interesting to me is the fact that when you add Gary Johnson to the equation, Obama's lead over Romney drops from 5 to 4 points, 42-38-13%.

Do you not understand the concept of different turnout?

Do the math. 5 + 7 = 12.

So I believe the answer to that is NO, a Person.

I'm not speaking at all for the veracity of PPP's polls (I personally think they skew too Democratic), but I see nothing bizarre with the actual result in this one. Sure, Romney's taking too many Democrats, and Obama probably hasn't dropped as much with hispanics as crosstabs indicate, but most polls have pretty weird looking crosstabs somewhere. Bottom line is New Mexico was actually carried by Bush by 1 point in 2004, lost by Bush in 2000 by .06%, and won by Obama by 15 in 2008. What's so hard to believe about a 49-44% result in New Mexico given electoral history, putting aside PPP's crosstabs?
