(CPOD) Sept. 24, 2004 - John Kerry would carry the state of New Mexico in the 2004 United States presidential election, according to a poll by American Research Group. 49 per cent of respondents would vote for the Democratic nominee, while 44 per cent would support Republican incumbent George W. Bush.

One per cent of respondents would vote for independent candidate Ralph Nader and six per cent are undecided. The election is scheduled for Nov. 2.

Support for Kerry remained stable since August, while backing for Bush increased by two per cent. In July, the Democrat held a seven per cent lead over the Republican.

New Mexico's five electoral votes went to Democrat Al Gore in the 2000 election, who defeated Bush by 366 ballots. No Republican has carried the state since George H. Bush in 1988.
