432 Likely Voters, City of Albuquerque Bruce Donisthorpe has been polling professionally since 2006. He has conducted several polls for Joe Monahans political blog in the 2008, 2010 and 2012 campaigns. And conducted a survey on Mayor Berrys public approval rating last year. He was active in polling the City of Albuquerque elections in 2009, in which he accurately forecasted Berrys win and the upset victory by City Councillor Dan Lewis in Albuquerque City Counil District 5.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS THE BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: Albuquerque City Councillor Janice Arnold-Jones has a 46%28% lead over challenger Diane Gibson in our survey of likely voters in the 7th City Council District. Matthew Biggs garnered about 12% of the vote while almost 15% was undecided. Ms. Arnold-Jones captured 71% of the REP voters, 43% of INDP voters and 29% of DEM respondents on the poll. She needs to pick up additional support among undecided REP and INDP voters while holding her support in the DEM and INDP camps to get over the 50% vote figure to avoid a runoff in this race. Ms. Gibson showed strength among her party (DEMs) in this district which has a 15-point edge in registration favoring the DEMs. As expected, she had strong support amongst Progressive and Liberal households and needs to increase her performance in those areas before election day to ensure a second-round campaign. Challenger Biggs is running best among men and hispanic voters, but trails the other two candidates by a wide margin. Undecided voters in the race are predominantly DEM and INDP voters who are largely moderate in philosophyand are most concerned about jobs and education issues.

OTHER SURVEY QUESTIONS VOTER IDEOLOGY: Overall, the district is equally divided between Progressive/Liberal voters (33%), Moderate voters (31%) and Conservative voters (31%). DEMs hold a 15 point registration edge over REPs in the district. DEM likely voters largely consist of a huge bloc of progressive and liberal voters (about 48% overall, equally divided between progressive and liberal). Moderate DEMs account for 1/3 of the DEM base, leaving about 15% of DEM LVs who identify themselves at conservative voters. REP voters have a 55% bloc of conservative voters and another 26% who identify themselves as moderates. Among INDPs, they are pretty much 1/3 Prog/Lib, 1/3 Mod and 1/3 Conservative. In the City Council Race: Gibson is leading among Progressive (60%) and Liberal (56%) voters, while Arnold-Jones has the lead among Moderate (51%) and Conservative (72%) voters. Biggs is doing best among an interesting coalition of Progressive (21%) and Conservative voters (12%). In the undecided voter pool, 18% of Moderates, 14% of Liberals, 12% of Conservative and 9% of Progressive voters have not made their minds up on a candidate as of this survey. TOP VOTER ISSUE The Jobs/Economy issue is far and away the leading issue at 49%, attracting 44% of DEM, 57% of REP and 46% of INDP voting groups. Education is the next most important issue at 20% of all voters, followed by Crime (17%), Environment (6%) and the Albuquerque Police Department (6%). APD is a bigger issue although small overall among DEM and INDP voters.
