Mark Udall(D) has gained on his Republican Opponent in Colorado's open US Senate seat. The current Senator, Republican Wayne Allard, who is consistently ranked as one of the worst Senators in the nation, is retiring.
The Rasmussen Poll shows an improvment for Udall, he now leads 47 (47), 41 (43) over scandal plagued Schaffer. With 'leaners', he goes over the half-way mark: 50 (49), 42 (46). (July numbers in parens).
Rasmussen goes on to explain:
A Udall win could mean more bad news for the Republicans in the Senate, who are at risk of losing even more seats to the Democrats this fall. Other Republican seats at risk include Alaska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Colorado, Mississippi, Kansas, Virginia and Kentucky.
Swift-boat money will soon be flying into the state for Club for Growth ads. But there have already been some pretty outrageous negative ads against Udall by third-parties, so I am unsure how this will affect the race.
UPDATE: Thanks to Magster over at DKos, there is a poll out in the Rocky Mountain News That shows Udall up 44-38. The article pretty much states that this campaign is about to go Nuclear. I'm holding the poll suspect because it has third-party candidates, one receiving 5% of the vote.
UPDATE2: Ras is not so kind to Obama. McCain is up 49-48 with leaners. Obama seems to slipping away in this state. Hopefully, the convention will turn things around. |
