Ranking and Analysis
Race Ranking: 2
Race Ranking: 2
Based on early polling, Democrat Tom Udall is already overperforming, even in parts of the state that he doesn't currently represent, and he can fairly be described as the front-runner. The GOP field has been low-key so far, though one assumes whichever Republican is trailing close to primary day won't stay quiet about his or her opponent.
