If I got a new pole I would have to find somebody to dance on it.
I figure the House is lost to the DEMs. Sounds like the Senate may be heading that way.
“The poll, released by Montana State University on Tuesday, has Hickenlooper leading Gardner by 17 points, 48% to 31%.@
There is absolutely no way that Hickenlooper can beat Sen. Gardner and it is impossible for him to have a 17 point lead.
Hickenlooper, even in this poll can’t break 50%.
Gardner trying to do Democrat-lite doomed him.
Just like every other GOP-e who has tried it.
We must fight to get out the vote!
There is little enthusiasm among the Dems, so it important encourage folks to stay informed and stay involved in this trying environment. Get active in the GOP and find out who your District Captain is, or who your Precinct person is.

RinoPuff seems very “concerned.”
weird poll ... hickenlooper isn’t the Dem nominee for Senate, in fact no one is as the Dems haven’t even had their Senate primary election, AND hickenlooper barely even made the ticket as the “progressive” (komie) candidate, Andrew Romanoff, took 86% of the state assembly vote, so Hickenlooper might not even win the primary election:
“The vote at the Colorado Democratic Party assembly, held online without the traditional fanfare of a political convention, essentially cemented the ballot. The final certification comes May 7. Romanoff overwhelmingly won the support of the party activists who served as delegates, taking 86% of the vote, according to the official tally.”
of course. they’re all stoned.
Biden isn’t 18 ahead ofTrump. Those Montana kids had one too many beers
Well gee whiz, I guess if some stupid poll of carefully selected morons shows Pres. Trump trailing, we’d better all just THROW UP OUR HANDS AND GIVE UP! A poll said Democrats are “dominating” in a left-leaning state! OH NOES! We’re all DOOOOOOMED!
WHY do people follow “polls” at all? A pile of vomit has more credibility. Oh yeah, and “every poll said” Hillary Clinton was a 98% probability to win in 2016. Sheesh.
Biden has an 18 point lead? Really? Come on. I bet he doesn’t have that big of a lead in Boulder much less the whole state.
All I need to know about political polls I learned in the last days of the 2016 campaign.
This poll is absurd. 81%+ of the participants are registered voters. The other 18% aren’t registered, don’t know, or won’t vote. Guess what the margin is between Trump and Biden is ? Yup. 18%. That doesn’t even account for the bizarre 33%D/26%R/35%I (which could be anything) surveyed.
The article falsely claimed the state is trending Democrat. Colorado’s peak Democrat performance was in 2008 when Zero got 54%. He declined to 51% in 2012. Hillary got a paltry 48.2% plurality. Trump carried Pueblo County, the first time it had gone GOP for President since 1972. Ditto Las Animas County (Trinidad), getting 55% there, the highest percentage for a Republican Presidential candidate since at least 1908 and perhaps ever. Out of 64 counties, Trump won 42 and increased his % over Willard in most of them (and took 5 additional counties in the process). Hillary carried just 22 counties and 7 by only a plurality.
Biden is a profoundly flawed and degenerate nominee. Again, at his best and shiniest, Zero could get just 54% in 2008 and was becoming lackluster even against a ringer nominee again in 2012 (51%). That he could magically jump to 53% in the face of declining returns for the Dems makes no logical sense. If he gets Hillary’s 48.2%, that will be remarkable in itself.
BTW, I don’t even get to the Gardner-Hickenlooper contest, because the latter hasn’t been nominated, yet, AND he was overwhelmingly repudiated by the party members at the Dem convention, who preferred the even more ultraleft nutter Andrew Romanoff. Just like with Biden vs. Sanders, there’s likely to be an aggrieved group not willing to support the nominee if their guy is not nominated (despite the fact there is virtually no difference ideologically between the two).
MCGA.
It is May 5. We are in the midst of a contrived pandemic. This poll of 500 people, some not registered to even vote is worthless.
Of course it still got the desired impact. The Chicken Little wing of FR is talking doom already.
The liberal hive in and around Denver has overwhelmed the rest of the state.
Everyone knows CO was overtaken by liberals from CA many years ago.
It was alright there on my first trip around 1980. I noticed a difference in attitudes in the late ‘80s. Last trip to CO was in ‘92 and it was a completely leftish State, to this Texan.
