CO-Sen: Udall Leads Schaffer by Nine

Garin Hart Yang for the DSCC (6/15-17, likely voters):

Mark Udall (D): 46

Bob Schaffer (R): 37

Undecided: 17

(MoE: ±3.5%)

Nice numbers for M’Udall. Even better, 54% of Schaffer voters describe their support for the ex-congressman as “not that strong”, while only 40% of Udall voters feel the same way about their candidate. As Udall, the DSCC, and outside groups continue to hammer Schaffer on his ties to Abramoff and other matters, we could shake a few of those voters loose. And on the generic ballot, Dems hold a 42-36 lead — a nice sign of Colorado’s Democratic trend.
