Important race, but so to the race for Governor.

Openly biased pollsters ask the gullible to believe their poll results aren’t biased.

‘Democratic Pollster Has Udall Breaking Ahead Of Gardner In Colorado’

Democratic pollster? Well, duh.

(Actually, one can’t underestimate the voting power of the public employees concentrated in the Denver area, and the college students in Boulder/Fort Collins. Eliminate those areas/demographics and it would be a fine State.)

Another in the series of polls designed to help Democrats improve their fundraising capabilities and having nothing to do with the real voter sentiment

Just a reminder about PPP in the Colorado district in which a State Leg (female) was recalled IIRC, about the gun law and PPP did NOT report their polling showing she would get recalled by a fairly large margin. (PPP thought their poll was wrong). This non-reporting of the real results of their poll helped embolden those who thought that the recall election was ‘stolen’.

The problem will be getting all the zoned Democrats to the polls. If they can’t, they probably have pre-marked ballots to assist the stoned who can’t remember who to vote for. Democrats really care about helping their voters, doncha know.

The Denver-Boulder axis of evil will ensure that Udall and Gov. Chickeneffer will win.

YAWN: Breaking Down The Fallacies Of The PPP Senate Poll

Published on May 12, 2014 by ColoradoPeakPolitics

push-poll questions done for a group that has already dropped a million dollars in the race, someone is certainly trying to slap some lipstick on a pig.

As if PPP methods weren’t suspect already.

Let’s deconstruct this mess:

1. All registered voters never vote in a Presidential election year, let alone midterms.  To believe having a poll with all registered voters will reflect what happens in November is to believe Colorado will actually let spring weather happen in spring.  Not only are Democrats facing a much more conservative electorate in this election cycle, they are also losing the vital enthusiasm factor as well.
2. The questions asked by PPP were not aimed at getting an honest look at the electorate, but were rather more geared towards skewing one’s opinion.  Case in point, Q4 and Q5:
   

   Q4 If a candidate for office voted to provide billions of dollars in tax breaks to oil companies, would that make you more or less likely to vote for them in an election, or would it not make a difference?

    Q5 Which candidate for U.S. Senate do you think would be more likely to do the bidding of big oil companies: Mark Udall or Cory Gardner?

   Billions of dollars in tax breaks is never given any context.  For all we know these could be standard corporate tax breaks that even Udall has voted for; hell, just last week Warren Buffet admitted the only reason he builds wind-turbines is for the tax breaks.

   “…do the bidding of…”  Gardner could be doing the bidding of the Easter Bunny and it would still sound nefarious.

3. This poll was done for the League of Conservation Voters after they had already dropped one-million dollars in this race in April.  These poll questions are already along the lines of the ads they’ve put on air so far.  When a poll done for the Chamber of Commerce last month was leaked, the Chamber was still trying to figure out what races to enter and needed an accurate view of them.  Not so for the LCV.  They’re in.  They’ve committed.  This poll is just another earned media stunt.  How else is Gardner +2 points with unaffiliated voters from a PPP poll released just last month, but -2 points worse overall than that poll?

Bottom line: this is a desperation poll by a group that has already sunk a million dollars behind a candidate—Udall—that is in serious trouble.

"Those who responded to the survey identified themselves as 36 percent Democrat, 31 percent Republican and 33 percent “Independent/Other.”

Republican registrations outnumber Dems, 944,000 to 902,000, ---and have higher turnout in off-year elections. So, the number should probably be reversed, 47% Gardner, 43% Udall.

CO means perpetual disappointment.

Karl Rove said on Fox that the Democrats ice spending millions of dollars in the Senate races to trash the Republican even before the final nominees chosen.
