Keller Sweeps Away Foes In Journal Poll And Is Positioned To Win Second Term Without A Runoff; Keller 53%, Gonzales 20%, Aragon 13%

ABQ Mayor Tim Keller has crossed the magic 50 percent mark and then some to position himself to win a second term in office November 2, according to a poll from the ABQ Journal released Sunday. 

To win a first round victory and avoid a runoff election with the second top vote-getter, the winner must get 50 percent of the vote. This poll says Keller is well on his way to that first round win. 

The survey, taken with 536 likely voters October 15-21 and with a 4.3 percent margin of error, has Keller scoring 53%--well above the required 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff election. 

BernCo Sheriff Manny Gonzales received 20% and Eddy Aragon, the lone Republican in the race, polled at 13%. Twelve percent of voters remain undecided.
