SANTA FE — With Election Day just over two weeks away, Kamala Harris has largely maintained her advantage over Donald Trump in this year’s presidential race in New Mexico, a new Journal poll found.
About 50% of registered, likely voters surveyed in the poll said they planned to vote for Harris, or had already voted for her, while 41% said they were voting for Trump.
