On December 16, Public Policy Polling released a presidential general election ballot for New Mexico, which shows these hypothetical results: President Obama 44%, Mitt Romney 27%, Gary Johnson (with the Libertarian label) 23%, undecided or other 6%.
Another result is: President Obama 45%, Newt Gingrich 28%, Gary Johnson 20%, undecided or other 7%. See this story.
“Three way split” is an interesting interpretation of those numbers. In the first Obama gets 63% more votes than Romney and almost 100% more than Johnson, and in the second he gets 61% more than the confirmed adulterer and 125% more than Johnson.
I want to be around when you split up the Thanksgiving desserts.

Not really a split, but very impressive.
It’s still WAY early, though.
