New polls released on Monday showed the Colorado Senate race swinging in favor of Republican challenger Cory Gardner in his race against Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO).

A SurveyUSA poll conducted for the Denver Post showed Gardner leading, 45 percent to 43 percent among likely voters. That’s within the margin of error, but represents a shift toward Gardner since last month, when the same pollster found Udall leading 46 to 42 percent.

Also on Monday, a second SurveyUSA poll, using a different methodology and conducted for High Point University, put Gardner up over Udall 46 percent to 42 percent.

The margin of error for the Denver Post poll is 4.1 points. The margin of error for the High Point University poll is 3.5 points.

TPM’s PollTracker average currently has Gardner at 44.4 percent and Udall at 39.2 percent.
