Colorado Senate

After much hemming and hawing, the NRSC finally pulled out of Colorado last week, leaving ex-Rep. Bob Schaffer to fend for himself. A new poll for KCNC-TV and the Rocky Mountain News shows Schaffer may not be up to the task. The Public Opinion Strategies/RBI Strategies poll surveyed 500 likely voters 10/21-23 for a margin of error of +/- 4.4%. Schaffer and Democratic Rep. Mark Udall were tested.

General Election Matchup
Udall............51
Schaffer......38

After a summer that saw the race tighten, Udall has slowly but steadily regained a lead that looks insurmountable a week before Election Day. The Democrat leads by 11.3 points in the latest RCP Average.
