Bush in 2004, when he won it by less than a point. However, in 2008, Barack Obama won the state over John McCain by 15 points and in 2012 by 10 points over Mitt Romney. In 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton defeated President Donald Trump by eight points. However, New Mexico has not elected a Democratic governor since 2006. In 2010, then - District Attorney of New Mexico 's Third Judicial District Susana Martinez won against Incumbent Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish by approximately seven points and in 2014, Martinez was re-elected over state Attorney General Gary King by nearly 15 points. It has been described as one of the Democrats ' best chances at a pickup, due to Gov. Martinez 's unpopularity and because `` she 's leaving behind a high unemployment rate and struggling education system.
