1 COMMON CAUSE NEW MEXICO PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY FEBRUARY 2018

2 EBRUARY 2018 PAGE 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS

3 EBRUARY 2018 PAGE 3 METHODOLOGY This research study was commissioned by Common Cause New Mexico in order to measure New Mexico voters attitudes and opinions on issues relating to proposed campaign finance and legislative reforms. THE INTERVIEW A random sample of 452 registered voters in New Mexico was nterviewed by telephone. Telephone numbers were generated from he Research & Polling, Inc. database. All interviews were conducted between January 16 and January 24, The telephone interviewers are professionals who are brought ogether for a training session prior to each survey. This ensures their complete and consistent understanding of the survey instrument. To avoid potential bias, 57% of the phone interviews were completed hrough random dialing of cell phone numbers of registered voters. MARGIN OF ERROR A sample size of 452 at a 95% confidence level provides a maximum margin of error of approximately 4.6%. In theory, in 95 out of 100 cases, the results based on a sample of 452 will differ by no more than 4.6 percentage points in either direction from what would have been obtained by interviewing all registered New Mexico voters statewide. BIAS In any survey, there are some respondents who will refuse to speak to the professional interviewer. A lower response rate among certain types of individuals can result in a sample wherein certain types of individuals are over-represented or under-represented. The potential for sampling bias increases as the response rate decreases. Research & Polling, Inc. often sets quotas for various segments of the population who are historically undercounted. This has the effect of minimizing, but not necessarily eliminating, sampling bias. THE REPORT This report summarizes the results from each question in the survey and reports on any variances in attitude or perception, where significant, among demographic subgroups. The subgroups examined in this report include. Region Gender Ethnicity Age Household income Education attainment level Political party

5 EBRUARY 2018 PAGE 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Voters in New Mexico are strongly supportive of various reforms relating to state campaign finance and legislative reforms. Voter support for the various proposals may stem from the fact that voters are more than twice as likely to believe things in New Mexico are currently heading off on the wrong track (52%) as opposed to be heading in the right direction (24%). Many voters also appear to be concerned about the impact of outside spending in state elections. When informed that during the last election cycle n New Mexico, in some state races, Political Action Committees (PACs) spent more money running political ads than did the candidates themselves, nearly half of the voters (48%) believe the ads from PACs had a large impact on races in New Mexico with 26% saying they had a very large impact. Less than one-fifth (18%) believe the ads from PACs had little or no impact on the outcome of state races in the last election cycle. Approximately three-in-five (61%) voters also believe that limiting the amount of campaign contributions to candidates helps to prevent corruption, while 28% believe campaign contribution limits have no impact on corruption in politics. The majority of Democrats (67%), independents (60%), and Republicans (53%) believe that limiting campaign contributions helps to prevent corruption. CAMPAIGN FINANCE/ETHICS REFORM Voters in New Mexico are supportive of various campaign reform proposals that may be introduced in the legislature. Ø Nine-in-ten voters support a proposal that would require all large political contributions from individuals, corporations, political action committees (PACs), non-profits and unions to be made public (78% strongly support the measure). Ø Over four-fifths (84%) of voters say they support not allowing legislators to vote on legislation that they could personally benefit from financially (76% are strongly supportive). Ø Just over half the voters (52%) believe that public campaign financing in elections for the Public Regulation Commission, Supreme Court and Court of Appeals should be expanded to include other judicial races. LOBBYISTS The vast majority of voters (91%) say it would be a good idea to require registered lobbyists to make public the bills or issues they have been hired o advocate for so that voters know who is lobbying on issues in New Mexico. Furthermore, 86% support requiring former legislators to wait at least two years after their term ends before they are able to become paid lobbyists o the New Mexico Legislature (68% strongly support this proposal). NDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING COMMISSION Seven-in-ten voters also say they support the creation of an independent commission that would be responsible for redrawing the state s legislative districts, rather than having state legislators responsible for redistricting (51% are strongly supportive).

6 EBRUARY 2018 PAGE 6 CHANGES TO STATE LEGISLATURE Nearly two-thirds of voters (65%) say they either strongly support (43%) or somewhat support (22%) extending the length of the state legislative sessions to address the increase in the number of policy and budgetary issues that affect all New Mexicans. Approximately one-in-four voters (27%) are opposed to the idea of extending the duration of the legislative sessions. The majority of voters (54%) say they either strongly support (32%) or somewhat support (22%) paying state representatives and senators a yearly salary equivalent to the average New Mexico household, so that they may focus more on issues in New Mexico rather than also trying to hold down a full-time job. However, 34% are opposed to the idea of paying state legislators an annual salary.

DON'T KNOW/ WON'T SAY 2014 (N=467) 2015 (N=451) Overall, just 24% of voters statewide believe that things in New Mexico are heading in the right direction which is almost identical to the results observed in 2016, and down significantly from 41% observed in 2015 and 38% observed in The majority of voters (52%) currently believe things are off on the wrong track, while 17% have mixed feelings about the direction of the state. t is interesting to note that independent voters (62%) are more likely than both Democrats (49%) and Republicans (48%) to feel things are off on the wrong track in New Mexico.

When it comes to the reasons why participation levels are down, voters are most apt to cite: voters not believing their vote counts (24%), people don t care/apathetic (17%), candidates don t represent voters interests/no good candidates (17%), people are lazy/uninformed (11%), and corrupt politicians (9%). Voters are most apt to suggest having better candidates (16%), restoring the belief that their vote will count (12%), and building more trust in the political system (11%) as ways to encourage more voters to participate in elections.

THE VERY LARGE IMPACT RESPONSE IS ASSIGNED A VALUE OF 5; THE NO IMPACT AT ALL RESPONSE IS ASSIGNED A VALUE OF 1. THE DON T KNOW/WON T SAY RESPONSES ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE CALCULATION OF THE MEAN. Voters were informed that during the last election cycle in New Mexico, in some state races, Political Action Committees (PACs) spent more money running political ads than did the candidates themselves. They were then asked to rate how much of an impact the ads from PACs had in the last state election. As shown above, nearly half of the voters (48%) believe the ads from PACs had a large impact on races in New Mexico (as indicated by a score of 4 or 5) with 26% saying they had a very large impact. Less than one-fifth (18%) believe the ads from PACs had little or no impact on the outcome of state races in the last election cycle (as indicated by a score of 1 or 2). ndependents (65%) are more apt than Democrats (45%) and Republicans (40%) to feel political ads from PACs had a large impact on the last state election.

THE VERY LARGE IMPACT RESPONSE IS ASSIGNED A VALUE OF 5; THE NO IMPACT AT ALL RESPONSE IS ASSIGNED A VALUE OF 1. THE DON T KNOW/WON T SAY RESPONSES ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE CALCULATION OF THE MEAN. The 48% of voters who feel the political ads from outside groups impacted the last state election is very similar to the 46% observed in the 2016 study and 50% observed in the 2015 study. The 18% of voters who currently feel the ads had little or no impact is lower than was observed in the previous studies.
