1.    The Sphinx Strategy is not paying off.  Or maybe this was the reaction of viewers to the TV commercial linking Udall with Fidel Castro.
   
     Maybe the “Thanks, Bob” commercials will help lift Shifty’s numbers out of the toilet.

2. I think the liberal label has finally lost its power.  Labeling Udall a liberal seems to be the only strategy of the Shafer campaign.

   Attaching the label to every politician to the left of Atila the Hun for the last 30 years has diminished the words power even when attached to an actual liberal.

3. That’s the only poll I’ve seen with that much of a spread…what else do we know about the firm other then that?

   1. from Roll Call

      In releasing polling Tuesday that sought to bolster its argument that Americans oppose “card-check” legislation for unionized workers, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace also released polls on three of the most hotly contested Senate races of the cycle.

      In Colorado, the Republican polling firm McLaughlin & Associates found Rep. Mark Udall (D) leading former Rep. Bob Schaffer (R), 44 percent to 32 percent. The survey of 400 likely general election voters taken March 6-9 had a 4.9-point margin of error.

      1. not a left-leaning Dem group trying to spin.

         you have to give these numbers some credence.

         Frankly, I am not surprised.

   2. Per Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic

      McLaughlin conducted the survey for the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace, a corporate group opposed to the Employee Free Choice Act, a major priority for labor unions.

      Wonky side note: McLaughlin, who worked for Sen. Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign, is teaming with ex-Thompson communicatons director Todd Harris on the Coalition’s behalf.

4. The poll found in all three states that non-union households were far more likely to support the Republican candidates, and also suggested that voters are less likely to support candidates who favor a card-check process for union membership, a provision favored by unions and many Democratic leaders.

7. I’d be more comfortable with the poll if the MOE was a bit lower.

   Still, not good news for the Schaffer camp after Rasmussen’s repeatedly rosy polling.

   1. And those numbers are so far out of whack it ain’t even funny. Udall is likely ahead, he’s a sitting Congressman with the commensurate name ID. But no way is the margin like that. That’s a poll whose results should be thrown out like stale coffee.
