First, a USA Today poll shows Gardner up by a point:
Quote:
The survey shows Udall at 42%, Republican challenger Cory Gardner at 43% in what is essentially a tie. The poll of 500 likely voters, taken Saturday through Tuesday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
Second, a Quinnipiac poll has Gardner leading by EIGHT points:
Quote:
Colorado U.S. Sen. Mark Udall trails U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, his Republican challenger, 48 - 40 percent among likely voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Independent candidate Steve Shogan gets 8 percent.
With Shogan out of the race, Rep. Gardner leads 52 - 42 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. This survey of likely voters can not be compared with earlier surveys of registered voters.
Likely voters isnt as good as those who voted last time imo. I guess it is less expensive to do it that way?
One poll has a 4.4 margin of error which is a bit high.
Quinnipiac poll seems like an outlier. That along with Quinnipiac's poll on the race for Governor don't come close to matching anything else out there. The other three recent polls on this race show Udall up by 4, by 2 and by 6.

Your "recent" polls are really old polls, but nice attempt at deflection.

Really old polls are within the last two weeks?? The mre polls you take into consideration the better. When you have a poll that shows results that nothing else out there is showing (Quinnipiac in this case) you should probably wait to see if any additional polling backs that up/
I no longer let polls effect me. Only one poll matters and that is election day. Pollsters are like weatherman they apply models and computers only to be right half the time.

There is nothing wrong with looking at polls. Hell it makes the conversations more interesting. The problem is when people (from both sides fwiw) jump up and down and take any poll that shows something good for their side as absolute fact, especially when that poll doesn't match up to any other polls out there. It is always a much better idea to look at and take into consideration the overall consensus of the polls.
Marijuana may just be the voter suppression method Republicans have longed for. Liberals, stoned and apathetic, might stay away from the polls in Colorado.

This is a pretty farfetched notion. After all, enough showed up sober to get the law passed handily.

Polls mean little . The Scotland vote was polled at even , the only poll that matters was 55-45 the pollsters were wrong again.
Polls have a tendency to make people not vote . After all why vote when-the polls show the outcome.
Pollsters and weatherman will e right half the time
