Former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson is leading the race for the Republican presidential nomination among Colorado voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday which also finds that he is one of a number of Republicans who would soundly beat Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the Centennial State in a general election match-up.
In the race for the Republican nomination, the poll finds Carson leads in Colorado with 25 percent of the vote, followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio with 19 percent, business mogul Donald Trump with 17 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz with 14 percent, Carly Fiorina with 5 percent, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul with 3 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 2 percent. Eleven percent of respondents were undecided.
While the poll finds former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads the field comfortably for the Democratic nomination -- gaining 55 percent of the vote, compared to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' 27 percent and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley's 2 percent -- she fares poorly in a general election matchup in the vital swing state.
Clinton trails all the top Republicans by margins of 11 percent or more:
The poll finds that Rubio would beat Clinton 52-36 percent; Carson would win 52-38 percent; Cruz would beat Clinton 51-38 percent, while Trump gets 48 percent of the vote against Clinton's 37 percent.
In more bad news for Clinton, although 56 percent of voters say she has the right kind of experience for the presidency, Clinton has the lowest favorability rating of any top candidate in Colorado -- just 33 percent -- while 67 percent says she is not trustworthy or honest.
The poll was taken between November 11 and 15, and 1,262 Colorado voters were surveyed.

“They still can vote.”
Theoretically, yes. But voting DOES take a bit of initiative, even mail in ballots, which require effort to read and decipher, find a pen, fill out, insert in envelope correctly, sign envelop with signature, find stamp for said envelope, and figure out where and how to mail said envelope. Most youngsters are not that familiar with the mailing process to start with anymore.
Colorado produces a lot of grain.

“Dude ... ah ... I’m voting for Carson ... huh ... what? ... What was the question ... ?”
That pretty well sums things up in Colorado.
This looks correct...after all this state did put s similar minded Hickenlooper in his chair.
“That is what happens when you smoke weed.”
I used to in HS, but incredibly I couldn;t get high that much as my doctor aunt told me once it’s in my metabolism. I firmly believe in MJ use for medical reasons to ease the pain of medical issues which causes pain such as arthritis but the wimp reasons such as getting high just for the sake of it is effing weak.
You know the saying, boys smoke weed, men drink whiskey.
“..GOP 2016 Predictions : Ben Carson at 7.5 % by Christmas..”
It is easy to see where the “big GOPe money” wants to see things go. They do not want a strong, fighting president. They want an OWNED “YES” MAN to maintain the status quo of a dysfunctional GOP that keeps giving away the country to the radical left.
Trump in third place? I find that very hard to believe. Could Coloradans really be that far outside of the national trends? If so, why? Beyond weed, of course...
Who cares...Colorado isn’t having a Primary so this is worthless
I read the WaPo article you posted. Although I’m having trouble believing this poll, I did find it interesting to see that the Donald’s support was almost even across all four Republican voter “segments” surveyed: Tea Party, Evangelical, Conservative, and Moderate. This was not true of any other candidate. I think that’s probably a sign of a broad cross-section of support for Trump.
Colorado is all vote by mail ... good luck winning that state in a presidential year
I’m guessing Fox won’t mention the 5 other state polls that Trump was leading in today?
