Markey poll claim: An edge over Rep. Musgrave

“Surprising” results from an early campaign poll and recent Democratic victories in GOP-leaning districts nationwide have bolstered the confidence of the latest challenger to Republican Rep. Marilyn Musgrave.

The campaign for Fort Collins businesswoman Betsy Markey, a former aide to Sen. Ken Salazar, said a poll of 400 likely voters in the Fourth Congressional district shows her leading Musgrave, R-Fort Morgan, 43 percent to 36 percent.

“It’s so surprising not just in terms of us being up, but to also be up by 7 points,” said Anne Caprara, spokeswoman for Betsy Markey.

The early edge, they say, shows that the incumbent is ready to be toppled.

Musgrave’s “make-over” isn’t fooling anyone.
