The overall numbers show Obama winning Hispanics 64-25, so shifts in Hispanic representation in the polls could account for some of the inconsistency between the polls.

[referring to the bold in the first bullet point] We are pretty sensitive about that (we *were*, i should say. Don't live there anymore). The state is called “New Mexico”, not “Mexico” .

NM is almost always more Democratic than CO. Also one thing about the yucca mountain ad in NV, the ad began airing the middle of last week and the poll was taken on August 15th.
