The poll, from Quinnipiac University, shows Udall topping no more than 45 percent against any of the five announced Republicans in the race.

State Sen. Randy Baumgartner and state Rep. Amy Stephens both hold Udall to the slimmest lead, each taking 41 percent to his 43 percent support.

Against former Republican Senate nominee Ken Buck, Udall takes 45 percent to Buck’s 42 percent support.

The Democrat leads state Sen. Owen Hill by five percent, with 44 percent support, and tops businessman Jaime McMillan by seven points, with 45 percent support.

Not the best pollster but there you go.

I wouldn't put much stock in poll numbers at this point. All of the candidates besides Ken Buck are probably virtually unknown to voters. You could probably come up with a fictional name like "If the election was held today, and the candidates were Democrat Mark Udall and Republican Steve Johnson, who would you vote for?", the numbers would show Johnson 45%, Udall 42%.

The only one that voters have heard of is Ken Buck, and his "name ID" is bad for the same reason Jim Oberweis is a bad choice in Illinois -- most of the name ID is bad and probably 40% of the electorate immediately decides "no way" would they vote for that guy.
