Here's What YOU Think is Happening in Colorado's Tightest Congressional Races

For the last month or so, we’ve been conducting weekly polls on this site to get a sense of how readers of Colorado Pols are feeling about the two tightest congressional races in Colorado.

(Here’s Poll #1, Poll #2, Poll #3, Poll #4, and Poll #5)

As we’ve noted many times, our readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years; while these polls are completely unscientific, we think the results are still relevant as vibe checks.

We always frame these questions the same way: We want to know WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN, not who you support or whom you might prefer on a given question. Think of it like placing a bet; if you were going to bet everything you own on one outcome, which would you choose?

Here’s how readers have seen the race changing in CO-03, where Democrat Adam Frisch (left) is battling Republican Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd for the open seat being vacated by Rep. Lauren Boebert’s magic carpetbagging ride to CO-04. Hurd was viewed as the clear favorite in late September, but readers have gradually shifted their predictions toward Frisch.

And here is how readers have viewed CO-08, where incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo is trying to hold off Republican Gabe-ish Evans. At no point over the last several weeks have Pols’ readers ever felt like Evans was going to unseat Caraveo.

Will readers of Colorado Pols prove prescient once again? We’ll know tomorrow night.
