Poll: New Mexico Voters In Favor Of Campaign Finance Reform

Results of a statewide poll about proposed campaign finance and ethics reforms in New Mexico show broad support among registered voters for more public disclosure of political funding sources.

Common Cause New Mexico commissioned the survey and published results Tuesday as the Legislature convened for a 30-day session that may include campaign finance and ethics initiatives.

The poll finds that about 91 percent of registered voters support requirements for public disclosure of large political contributions from individuals, corporations, political action committees, nonprofits and unions. About 7 percent opposed the idea.

The poll is from Albuquerque-based Research & Polling Inc. The firm conducted a random sampling of 452 registered voters by telephone and cell phone between Dec. 28 and Jan. 6 and has an error margin of 4.5 percentage points.
