…OK, maybe that’s me being silly.  But [mc_name name=’Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’U000039′ ]’s (D, NM) most recent Albuquerque Journal poll is the worst we’ve seen yet for him.  Admittedly, 50-43 over Allen Weh is still a very good place for Udall to be, a week out – but keep an eye on this one, maybe.  [mc_name name=’Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’U000038′ ]’s campaign taints all Democratic things that it touches with its mediocrity: it’s entirely possible that the very name itself might be serving as a warning to New Mexico voters.

…And, just in, here’s another suggestion that this may, in fact, be true:

[Tom] Udall is only up four points over Republican Allen Weh, according to a new Vox Populi poll shared first with The Daily Caller. The poll has Udall at 47 and Weh at 43.

“Our survey shows that the New Mexico Senate race has tightened down to a four point lead heading into Election Day,” said Vox Populi pollster Brent Seaborn. “The deteriorating national political environment for Democrats and President Obama has put Senate races like New Mexico at risk for Democrats.”

Come, I will conceal nothing from you: Vox Populi does not have the same name for accuracy as a lot of these other pollsters.  But this is really about [mc_name name=’Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’U000038′ ], isn’t it? Or, as I have just decided to refer to him: The Mark of the Udall Curse.

Two outliers, or some actual movement here? Something to keep an eye on. http://t.co/9rjB1JCl7r http://t.co/licZjjNyxZ via @dew5150 @kerpen
