Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO) is still holding a sizable lead over Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) in the Colorado Senate race, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll, but his advantage has shrunk slightly from that pollster’s last survey of the race.

Gardner is up 47 percent to 41 percent among likely voters, Quinnipiac found, with independent candidate Steve Shogan taking 8 percent. Gardner’s six-point lead is a little bit smaller than Quinnipiac’s Sept. 18 poll, which showed up him eight points, 48 percent to 40 percent.

The poll, conducted Oct. 8 to 13, surveyed 998 likely voters. Its margin of error is 3.1 points.

According to TPM’s PollTracker average, Gardner currently leads Udall 48.1 percent to 42.9 percent.
