Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has opened up an seven-point lead over Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO), according to a new Suffolk University poll.
The poll found Gardner leading 46 percent to 39 percent among likely voters. Back in mid-September, Suffolk gave Gardner just a one-point advantage, 43 percent to 42 percent.
It is the biggest lead that Gardner has seen over the last month, during which time early voting has already started; Fox News and Quinnipiac University had shown him up by six points earlier in October.
The Suffolk University poll, conducted Oct. 18 to 21, surveyed 500 likely voters. Its margin of error is 4.4 points.
According to TPM’s PollTracker average, Udall currently holds a slight edge, 46.1 percent to 46 percent.
Lesson to Democrats - Do not take Hispanics for granted.
I thought at the time when Obama announced the delay of any immigration action until after the election that this very race could be the one most likely to be negatively impacted. I hope I was wrong, and that Udall pulls this out, but this is not very encouraging.
Monmouth university poll just came out that has Gardner only up by 1. Suffolk has been a bad pollster. Look at their 2012 polls.
You hush now; you’re spoiling TPM’s breathless reporting!
Gardner may win, but Suffolk is an incompetent and ideological polling firm. Remember their leader in 2012 declaring that he was no longer going to poll VA and FL because Romney had them sewn up? Clearly, this is a very close race.
