CO-Sen: Udall Leads by 5

[ccharles000]

Mason-Dixon (9/29-10/1, likely voters, 8/13-15 in parens):

Mark Udall (D): 43 (47)
Bob Schaffer (R): 38 (37)
Undecided: 14 (14)
(MoE: ±4%)
That's a slight dip for Udall, who has been hammered by Freedom's Watch and the NRSC in recent weeks. But the poll also finds a shift at the Presidential level, as well, with Obama and McCain tied at 44-44. Now, despite some recent polls showing Obama putting some daylight between himself and McCain in Colorado, the Pollster.com composite is still very close, so the result isn't exactly outrageous.

Dick Wadhams and Bob Schaffer clearly hope to employ a strategy of "shoving a bunch of 30-second ads up ass", but the poll has a bit of discouraging news for the GOP: Schaffer's unfavorable score has risen from 25 to 43%, while Udall's has only edged up from 23 to 26. That might be the kiss of death right there.

SSP currently rates this race as Lean Democratic.

Geebus, I could not handle my state being shoved back to insanity by the RWers--largely CO newcomers, CoSprings fundies, and western slope "libertarians"-- that would vote a Schaffer into office. Fortunately, I think a lot of the former SOCAL RWers have had it with the fundies and along with the disenchanted libertarians are waking up to Schaffer and his ilck.
