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.

On the other hand, we have a more pessimistic take about Colorado in this article:

TITLE: Don’t count on Colorado going red next November
Dude ... ah ... I'm voting for Carson ... huh ... what? ... What was the question ... ?
Colorado pot smoker! Any questions?
Wow, Fox jumped right on this “university” poll. Any chance to downplay Trump, they take it. Ailes, Inc.
RE: Colorado pot smoker! Any questions?
They still can vote. So it still counts whether we like it or not.
Looks like any of ours can beat illary at this point, the terrorist loving plastic surgery queen!
Do they expect us to believe their polls when Carson fluctuates from 18% to 22%? And Trump 3rd?
It had better be wrong or I’m moving to Italy.
Rocky Mountain High Colorado, Pot smoke has etched the brains

Carson leads GOP field in Colorado
Well, Carson appears to be perpetually stoned. A real man of the (Coloradan) people.
Trump commands attention without styrofoam pillars and phoney fainters
Stoners...
No that people are questioning Quinnipiac, they are not publishing on of the files that contained internals. Odd. There used to be two PDF files with internals, now only one - Anyone else notice that. At the bottom of the summary page.
“Wow, Fox jumped right on this âuniversityâ poll. Any chance to downplay Trump, they take it. Ailes, Inc.”
More like MURDOCH Inc. Ailes is just a formerly conservative whore, who sold his soul for 30 million per year.

.... the above among others. So, it’s not just FOX reporting his.
Of course it is all over the news. There isn’t an MSM outlet anywhere that doesn’t want to kill off Trump and Cruz, especially Fox.
“Poll finds Dr. Carson tops GOP race in Colorado ... 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”
Not even REMOTELY possible. Like most people who live here, I dodge all phone calls I don’t wish to receive, and I’ve been besieged by pollsters lately, probably being one of the few people left in the state with a land line.
