You quoted odds about Coffman against a "generic Democrat"—now how about the odds against Romanoff? Especially considering that Romanoff is not just any Democrat, but a very popular one.
Since he's not yet officially the Democratic candidate, it looks like PPP just polled generic Dem.
Exactly. It's specific R incumbents against a generic Dem. But that's still more meaningful than the general generic polls where you're just asking people nationwide for generic preference and it has little bearing on how they feel about their own Rep. This shows people unhappy with a specific R Rep and looking to vote for someone from the other party. It indicates that an attractive, strong Dem opponent in those specific races really does have a chance.
I think Romanoff in CD6 qualifies as an attractive enough alternative to have a real chance, provided they don't screw up on the money or on running a strong messaging campaign.
I'm a fan of Romanoff and I think he's found the job for him, one that he'll win and be successful at. We deserve better than Coffman and Romanoff deserves this job.
Andrew is earning this job – and "plus 100" on "we deserve better…"
I was just about to write a diary about this..beat me to it ExLuker. 🙂
But I do think this poll in quite interesting and means that Coffman has quite a lot of catch-up to do. For one, the poll is actually less diverse than CO-6…with 77 percent of the voters polled being white. His district is only 62 percent white so they may not be catching as many voters of color who are going to be key to any Democrat win (and who may not like the really crappy things he says and does about immigration policy. His district has a lot of federal workers and contractors so no big suprise that they don't like not being paid and are 20 percent less likely to vote for him once they realize he is against the shutdown.
Romanoff and the Democrats are going to have a lot of fodder against hime next November. This poll basically says he is in the hole with CO-6 voters by about 10 percent. Keep digging Mike…us Dems will even give you the shovel.
As a resident of CD6, I've been getting both donation begging letters (Huh? I'm registered D) spouting the usual "Pelosi is destroying the Universe" appeals and his generic campaign lit touting his new-found "bipartisan record".
The guy cracks me up. The guy bends over for anyone so much you can't tell if that was a burp or a fart coming out of him.
Damn, Davie. Kind of gross, but picturesque.
It's possible they are starting to realize what a mistake they've made and they're so desperate they're trying to lure Democrats too? Like that would happen now!
