Poll: Most New Mexicans approve of Lujan Grisham's COVID-19 response

[left-of-center2012]

A new poll showed that a majority of New Mexicans approve of the way Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is handling the COVID-19 crisis.

The poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling for The Majority Institute, a progressive organization, showed that 62 percent of New Mexicans approve of how she is handling the pandemic, compared to 26 percent who disapprove.

The approval is much higher than that of President Donald Trump; the poll found that 40 percent of New Mexicans approved of how he is handling the COVID-19 crisis, compared to 55 percent who disapprove.

Lujan Grisham took action earlier than many governors, and aggressively sought to expand testing capacity in the state. The New York Times wrote a profile about New Mexico’s response and how it has avoided overwhelming the health care system in the state.

loosened things up too soon. She succumbed to Republican pressure. But hey, gun shops and golf courses

4. A rural county Sheriff is supposedly deputizing church members in opposition

to her actions and preparing them for riots according to a pay wall SF Chronicle article and
a radio quick mention. Can't find anything else and nothing here on DU. Armed theocrats
just what we don't need.

6. "... the reality, folks, is that we're all going to die."

Typical hypocrisy of so called right-to-lifers when the life in question isn't a fetus.
Thanks for posting the link and hope to see more on DU and elsewhere about this.
