Earlier today we wrote about polling numbers from the American Politics Research Lab (APRL) at the University of Colorado showing absolutely putrid approval ratings for Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). The APRL poll also included some questions about the 2018 race for Governor, and the results seem to square with everything else we’ve been hearing for the last several months.
The only other publicly-reported poll numbers about the race for Governor came in October via the Braynard Group. The Braynard (no, autocorrect, not “Barnyard”) poll showed Tom Tancredo atop the Republican field of candidates at 22.1%, with Walker Stapleton the nearest elephant at 8.5%. Braynard put the percentage of “undecided” voters in the GOP Primary at the same 54% as the APRL poll above.
Across the aisle, the APRL poll represents the first publicly-reported numbers on the 2018 Democratic Primary (we’re not counting the mini-results from Cary Kennedy’s campaign). This new poll has Jared Polis atop the Democratic field with 24% support, with Kennedy a distant second at 6% and a whopping 58% listed as “undecided.” We can’t speak to specific numbers here, but the general idea of a Polis/Kennedy race at the top of the Democratic Primary fits with rumors we’ve gleaned about internal polls.

At this stage of the governor's race, it's all name ID. That's all this poll shows.
Right. The race is wide open, and Tancredo has more name ID than anyone. That also means he has a maximum level of support.
Tancredo will not be the nominee no matter how much Colorado Pols wishes he was.
And Cynthia Coffman will not be the nominee no matter how much you wish she was.
Hey, she's got a solid 6 percent. That 2 percentage points more than Broccoli who dropped out of the gubernatorial race.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt, Fluffy.
When are you going to accept the inevitable. Coffman will not be the nominee. Walker Stapleton will not be the nominee. There is an outside chance that Victor Mitchell could win but in all likelihood Tank is your guy.
Acceptance is the answer.
Remember when you dumbasses nominated that pathological liar/Agenda 21 whackadoo to run for governor, then Tancredo jumped into the race at the very last minute as the candidate of the American Constitution Party (lol), claimed he was the only real Republican in the race, and got 36% of the popular vote to the official GOP candidate's 11%? Good times!
Of course the Republicans will nominate Tanc. They simply can't help themselves.
Ah yes. The Republican primary featuring the whackadoo vs. The plagarist.
Whatever happened to Dan Maes? Wasn't he also the guy who claimed to be a secret agent who thought those bicycle kiosks were a plot by the United Nations?
Yes he was.
Colorado Pols did a "Where are they now?" story on ol' Dan not too long ago. He was selling – I kid you not – prepaid burial/funeral plans.
HA HA HA!
Honestly, and I mean this seriously, I’m glad that guy finally found an honest job!
. . . That kinda’ restores a small bit of my hope for the future of mankind.
Oh the days when a Republican could be brought down by a simple act of plagiarism. Wasn't a decade ago that they didn't vote for pedophiles and rapists…at least not knowingly.
Well, I as a registered GOPer, will vote for him in the primary as I am a ratfucker.
Moddy, I disagree with you on just about everything, but I hope you're right about Tanc. I don't want to risk him having any shot at the office. But it ain't gonna be Coffman, no matter how tight you close your eyes and click your heels
Agreed on tanc. The lasr time we rejoiced that the Republicans had nominated an unelectable goon, we got Trump.
Polis/Kennedy is starting to sound like the eventual ticket.
Coffman polling at only 2% more than tweety bird the dropout? dang. Perhaps it's her complete lack of appeal, lack of intelligence, and bizarre awkwardness
