A new poll for next Tuesday s special election in New Mexico s first congressional district gives Democratic nominee State Rep. Melanie Stansbury a 16-point lead over her Republican opponent, State Sen. Mark Moores. The poll was funded through a crowdsourcing effort led by RRH Elections and Elections Daily; it is the only poll of the race we ve seen thus far.
District 1 is in the central part of the state, including much of the Albuquerque area. The seat has been vacant since March, when former Rep. Deb Haaland (D) was confirmed as Secretary of the Interior. Haaland was reelected 58% to 42% in November, while Joe Biden won the district by 60% to 37% over Donald Trump.

@TerryMcAuliffe, interesting that you attack @GlennYoungkin seconds after his victory announcement. He and his family simply prayed for you and yours seconds after his victory announcement. pic.twitter.com/a95jXtVvV6 Tim Parrish (@TimParrishVA) May 11, 2021

ELECTIONS DAILY PROJECTION:
Elections Daily can now project that Glenn Youngkin, the former Carlyle Group CEO and political outsider, has won the Virginia GOP nomination for Governor.
