MONTHS OF CAMPAIGNING AND FIGHTING FOR VOTES COMES TO AN END FOR SOME CANDIDATES TOMORROW... WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE THIS EVENING ... STUART DYSON IS STANDING BY WITH THE LATEST NUMBERS IN THE STATE'S BIGGEST BATTLE --THE U-S SENATE RACE BETWEEN HEATHER WILSON AND STEVE PEARCE. AND JEFF MAHER HAS THE LATEST ON WHY COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY THE PRIMARY VOTE COUNT SHOULD GO BETTER THAN YEARS PAST...// WE START WITH THAT RED HOT REPUBLICAN RACE FOR U.S. SENATE WHICH IS NECK AND NECK -- STEVE PEARCE VERSUS HEATHER WILSON...IS NOW TOO CLOSE TO CALL! STUART DYSON IS LIVE IN OUR NEWSROOM WITH THE LATEST FROM OUR EXCLUSIVE SURVEY USA POLL. A PHOTO FINISH APPEARS TO BE IN THE WORKS AS SURVEY USA POLL SHOWS WILSON CLOSING ON PEARCE IN THE LAST WEEKEND OF THE PRIMARY CAMPAIGN - PEARCE CLINGING TO A SLIM LEAD - BUT IT'S WELL WITHIN THE POLL'S MARGIN OF ERROR - DON'T BET THE FARM ON THIS ONE - LET'S LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. OUT Q 'BARRAGE OF NEGATIVE ADS' OUR POLL - CONDUCTED FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY - SHOWS PEARCE AHEAD BY ONE PERCENTAGE POINT - 48 TO 47 - WILSON CLOSING THE THREE POINT LEAD PEARCE HAD IN OUR POLL TWO WEEKS AGO. 'This race is very very tight - it's too close to call and it's gonna be a long night on Tuesday as we await the election results.' THE POLL MAY REFLECT PETE DOMENICI'S ELEVENTH HOUR ENDORSEMENT OF WILSON AS HIS CHOICE TO REPLACE HIM IN THE SENATE - AN ENDORSEMENT WILSON DRAMATICALLY ANNOUNCED RIGHT HERE IN A LIVE DEBATE FRIDAY NIGHT. ' ...And I will never let you down.'' ... in this race the people are gonna decide who is gonna replace him..'' It's very possible the Domenici endorsement has had an effect here on voters who are undecided in this primary contest - I mean Domenici's been in office 36 years - his name is - he's got real star power in the state.' SPEAKING OF STAR POWER - OUR POLL SHOWS DEMOCRAT TOM UDALL WOULD CREAM PEARCE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION - AND WILSON RUNNING ONLY SLIGHTLY BETTER - ABOUT THE SAME RESULTS AS SURVEY USA FOUND TWO WEEKS AGO. BUT REMEMBER UDALL HAS NO OPPOSITION IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY - HE HASN'T HAD TO DEBATE - OR FACE A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF NEGATIVE ADS. SURVEY USA POLLED 498 REPUBLICAN VOTERS STATEWIDE THIS TIME - BOTH LIKELY VOTERS AND THOSE WHO'VE ALREADY VOTED EARLY OR ABSENTEE -- MARGIN OF ERROR - FOUR AND A HALF PERCENT.
