Colorado Senate race tightens as Trump pulls even with Clinton
The Washington Times ^ | November 3, 2016 | Valerie Richardson

“Whether it’s the recent polling that shows this race is a nail-biter, or the fact that Senator Bennet has been forced to go up with his first negative ad on Darryl Glenn, all the evidence points towards an unexpected victory for Republicans in Colorado,” said Restoration PAC founder Doug Truax in a Thursday statement.

Mr. Trump has made multiple campaign appearances in Colorado in the last two weeks in an effort to wrest the swing state from the Clinton column, while President Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear Friday in Pueblo.

In a much-criticized move, the Clinton campaign pulled its ads out of Colorado in July after polls showed her in the lead lead, but she jumped in this week with a crunch-time media buy in Colorado’s major markets.

The University of Denver poll conducted by Ciruli & Associates showed the two candidates tied at 39 percent each in a four-way match-up with the Libertarian and Green Party nominees.

A CBS/YouGov survey released Monday showed Mr. Bennet leading by 46 to 41 percent, while an Emerson College poll found the incumbent ahead by 47 to 42 percent.

I Darryl Glenn victory would be a great triumph for all Americans. And he’s clearly on the upswing, just like Trump.

Winning Colorado would solve a whole lot of Electoral scenarios for Trump.

Bennett is such a slimy toady. He needs to go away.

Colo. —> Trump would be good, but might keep me up later than desired.

Bennet has started running attack ads so I figured the race was tightening.

Any time the media says Trump pulled even, he’s up at least 5.

Dem negative ads are off-putting and they run them 5 or 6 times a half hour. I don’t see how that brings anyone in.

I think so. These ads are like getting beat over the head.

I wasn’t going to vote for Glenn until he confirmed he voted for Trump. Now I’m all in. Bennett is a lying piece of trash.

I was bummed that he got squishy on Trump, thought about leaving it blank. He back peddled enough that I did vote for him.

Down to 5 points? That’s outstanding, I had given up on this one.

I’m thinking there should be little reason for crossover voting in this race so he and a Trump oughta do about the same.
