Democratic Rep. Mark Udall continues to lead the race for retiring Senator Wayne Allard's seat, according to a new poll out today. The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University for WashingtonPost.com and the Wall Street Journal, surveyed 1,418 likely voters for a margin of error of +/- 2.6%. Udall and Republican ex-Rep. Bob Schaffer were tested.
