CO-Marist: Udall (D) up 7 among RVs

[Never]

I'm surprised that Gardner has more of a deficit in this poll than Beauprez; I'd expect the opposite to be the case. The only data in this poll that seemed to explain this is that Gardner's favorables outweighed his unfavorables by 2 points, while Beauprez's favorable were higher than his unfavorables by 8 points.

It is kind of strange how poorly Gardner did with this R+5 sample, considering Ken Buck lost by less than a point in 2010 with a D+5 electorate.

On Twitter, Nathan Gonzalez from Roll Call pointed out that the sample was 16% Latino, and that this seemed strange because the 2012 electorate in CO was only 14% Latino.

Personally, I don't think this completely writes off Udall's advantage, but he might not lead by 7 points.
