CO: Rasmussen: Gardner +1

[backtored]

a GOP up 1 in a Rasmussen CO poll is not a good thing.

No, it is a great thing. Rassy's last poll here three weeks ago had Udall up two. Virtually every pollster is showing the race moving away from Udall. Besides, the rassy GOP house effect has been largely absent this year.

Not as worried here as in Iowa.

Rasmussen has Iowa tied.

And he is scraping fifty percent with few undecideds. Quinnipiac consistently shows Gardner's ceiling with favorable numbers while rassy has been showing his floor. Either way, there simply are no more polls showing Udall up. I don't think that this will be easy, but I am glad I'm a Colorado Republican and not a Democrat today.

By the way, ballots drop in 13 days. Not much time for Udall to swing the race the other way.

This will come down to how the debates go vs. how the turnouts go.

Maybe you should tell the senator that his whole "shun the screen" strategy isn't going to get it done.

Yup, Udall's got Gardner right where he wants him.

Let me get this straight. Democrats are going with "Udall leading in the polls? Great!  Gardner leading? Even better!"?

Not really the kind of strategy I would go with, to be honest.

Chuck Todd says that Hickenlooper may be a big drag on the Democratic ticket.

I tend to think that the Democratic ticket is a big drag on the Democratic ticket.
