Trump and Glenn widely favored by El Paso County (CO) voters in new Gazette poll
Gazette ^ | 10/25/2016 | Dan Njegomir

A new Gazette poll shows Donald Trump dominating Hillary Clinton among El Paso County voters even as other recent surveys have the blunt-talking billionaire trailing the former first lady among voters statewide.

Despite a campaign that has courted controversy almost from the start and weathered a rash of allegations about Trump's behavior toward women, the survey finds the Republican New York real estate mogul leading Democrat Clinton 50 percent to 32 percent in El Paso County in a two-way race. Trump bests Clinton 47 percent to 30 percent when Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party contender Jill Stein, among others, are included in the mix.

KEYWORDS: colorado; coloradosprings; elpasocounty; polls; trump
For reference, El Paso County is home to C-Springs and heavily military. USAFA, Peterson AFB, Ft. Carson. Heavy retiree population. Obama lost to Romney 59-38 for reference, so the spreads are about the same. Problem in Colorado is Denver County and Boulder County. At this point, I'd say though that Colorado is well within reach. Keep an eye on Jefferson County, Denver suburbs. If Trump takes that he wins the state.

El Paso is a GOP stronghold here in CO.

Trump will win big there.

Trump needs to win bellwether Jefferson.

State is in reach.

He needs to turn out his base here.

I commute pretty regularly between Colorado Springs and Denver. I just don't see any Hillary signs or bumper stickers anywhere. Not much Trump either, but at least they exist. Actually, it's probably a tie between Trump, Bernie and Obama.

Can you even imagine a voter for Trump staying home? This is the most important election in 220 years. Either this country survives or it is GONE.

Here in rural Chaffee County, I haven’t seen a single Hillary bumper sticker or yard sign.

Oddly enough, there’s still a Bernie 2016 poster on one of the main buildings on Salida’s main drag.

Left Colorado Springs in 2000... the libs from California have over run the state

If he wins there he will probably win the election

Hopefully there will be depressed turnout in Boulder where all the pot smokers and CU deadbeats stay home and cry about Bernie. Of interesting note is your 3 ballot initiatives that Elway is spearheading opposition of. Womder if that may have a small upside for Trump?

I think D +6 is too high.

Its not like 2012 but don’t look for the media to admit it.

Liberal initiatives appear to be trailing.

I think the marijuana vote really boosted Obama’s numbers in 2012. Hillary really needs something like that to drag the college kids out of their weed parties. But it really doesn’t exist this year.

Trump is doing well in the mountain towns. I think Trump should campaign in Boulder. Boulder went big for Bernie, and it is possible for him to make a case for himself to Bernie voters to vote for him over Hillary. Bernie voters are at least anti-global trade pacts that steal citizen’s liberty. He can tell them that despite their differences, at least he is American first, and will leave the office with the citizens able to determine their own future. Hillary can’t promise that.

Keep an eye on Jefferson County...

Jeffco used to be reliably conservative but not so much now, it's why we moved. So we will see.
