Former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull maintains a commanding lead in the Republican primary for New Mexico governor, driven by recent polling averages showing him ahead of rivals and his established local executive record. A May Albuquerque Journal survey placed Hull at 30 percent support among likely Republican and independent primary voters, with Duke Rodriguez at 9 percent and Doug Turner at 21 percent amid widespread undecideds. Hull’s campaign has emphasized fiscal management and public safety priorities during candidate forums, including the recent Albuquerque Journal debate. Rodriguez has accelerated self-funding efforts with nearly $1.5 million in personal contributions to expand name recognition, while Turner has focused on business credentials. With the June 2 primary approaching, these factors reinforce trader consensus around Hull’s frontrunner status ahead of potential general election dynamics.
