CBS/NYT: Udall 45%, Gardner 42%

  • 12 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

We didn't want to miss mention of a new poll out this weekend from CBS and the New York Times, showing Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall with a three-point lead on Republican Cory Gardner–still well within the poll's +/- 3% margin of error. Here are your toplines:

Interestingly, this month's CBS/NYT poll shows the same three-point lead for Udall as last month's, but the number of undecided voters has actually increased by a percentage point. In September, Udall's lead was 46-43%, where today his lead is 45-42%. Small respondent differences can of course easily account for this, but that continues to illustrate how close the race is–and will likely remain all the way down the stretch.

That said, holding this three-point lead is news Team Udall can feel good about, especially when you drill down into the details. Among respondents who are considered "moderates," Udall is winning 52-29. Because moderate voters are once again likely to decide the outcome of elections in Colorado, this is very good news for Udall — and an indicator that voters believe Gardner to be a strongly partisan candidate.

  1. But but troll ac said the trend was going gardners way and moddy said that the next poll would show a bigger gardner lead – how could they be wrong?

    1. …it's that 'silent majority' that's going to rise up! on election day and take our state back: the angry, old white guys (which he is taking by a one-point margin).

       

      1. Plus Michael this is the first all mail-in ballot election since election reform passed so a Republicans can't count on low turn out by Democrats in a non-presidential election.  They might have had some loopholes for recall elections but the all mail-in ballot elections might turn out to be even more important than the gun regulation legislation.

        1. Which is why the same people are up in arms about both. (See Head, Victor. Marks, Marilyn. Gessler, Scott. Williams, Wayne. Rivera, George. Neville, _____ (fill in blank) Brown, Dudley). Etc.

          The gunheads were always all about the guns – but the GOP money people were about taking control of the state legislature. They still are. 

          Angela Giron was recalled not really for her gun legislative votes, although that mobilized the base, but primarily for her advocacy and support for HB1303, the Voter Acdess and Modernized Elections Act, which brought us all mail ballots, and has made Colorado a model for other states seeking to minimize voter suppression and increase voter turnout. 

  2. Translation of the MoE: Udall is way outside the MoE. The polls is badly skewed with less people using landlines… and more on the cellphones.

    My guess? Udall is really a +13. He'll win easily over Gardner by a comfortable margin and won't even trail at all.

     

    1. No Udall is NOT outside the MoE. Pols is correct that the MoE is expressed +/- a given percentage, meaning the MoE for this 3% MoE poll is SIX POINTS.

      This is one of the most annoying and common errors out there, even reporters make it. Let's please be accurate on the political wonk blog, ok?

    2. puppy, as your soul sistah, please do try to keep your optimism reasonable. The glass is half full, not overflowing and magically refilling itself. 

      Or cite your sources, and say how you come to the conclusions you do.

      I do think we as Democrats have reason for optimism on keeping the Senate. Six out of nine Senators on this Yougov poll were Democrats leading their opponents.

      Even the redstate conservatives had to admit that, although you won't hear them doing the arithmetic and coming up with "six out of nine Dems leading". 

      But we're not taking the US House this year. Picking up thirty four seats is not doable. We will, however, narrow it down to a 20 or so gap, I predict. 

       

  3. I got called for that poll, I had fun.  Bunch of Coffman lies repeated, how did that affect my opinion?  Still a liar, didn't change my opinion on that.  Saw 2 new positive ads for the Hick and Udall, liked 'em both.  Udall needs to smile more.
