CO-Sen: Udall Posts 8 and 10-Point Leads in New Polls

Suffolk University (8/21-24, likely voters, no trendlines):

Mark Udall (D): 39

Bob Schaffer (R): 31

Douglas Campbell (ACP): 4

Robert Kinsey (G): 2

Undecided: 22

(MoE: ±4.6%)

Mason-Dixon also has released a poll (8/13-15, likely voters) showing Udall leading Schaffer by 10 points:

Mark Udall (D): 47

Bob Schaffer (R): 37

Robert Kinsey (G): 2

(MoE: ±4.9%)

Schaffer’s campaign manager, major league asshole Dick Wadhams, responds with his typical bluster:

“That flies in the face of just about every other number I’ve seen in this race, and I think Mason-Dixon had a bad night,” said Schaffer campaign spokesman Dick Wadhams. “This poll is so far off the mark, I can’t even respond to it.”

Interesting. See, I’m looking at Pollster.com’s chart for this race, and I see seven other polls showing Udall leading by eight points or more. In fact, the Pollster aggregate shows Udall leading by six points, so it’s hard to argue that Mason-Dixon is that far off the mark.

SSP currently rates this race as Lean Democratic.

  1. For the lazy the last 10 polls have been Udall +8, +8, +6, +6, +9, Tie, +3, +9, +10, +9. Maybe he has bought into the Rove “Math”.

  2. He’s so charmingly incompetent and aggressive, but he’s been on a losing streak and I can see it continuing.

    I just hope they take pity on him and keep giving him employment, so they get poorly run campaigns and we get the constant hilarity of Rovian politics without the talent.
