AURORA | An internal poll leaked by Andrew Romanoff’s campaign shows the Democratic challenger is nearly tied with Republican incumbent Mike Coffman for the 6th Congressional District seat. The poll, which was conducted by Keating Research, shows Republican Mike Coffman with 44 percent of the district’s vote and Democrat Andrew Romanoff with 43 percent, while 13 percent of CD6 voters remain undecided.
Among the registered independent voters, who represent 31 percent of likely voters in the 6th Congressional District, Romanoff holds an 11 point advantage over Coffman. According to the poll, around 45 percent of independent voters support Romanoff while 34 percent support Coffman. The rest remain undecided.
According to Keating Research, this poll is representative of likely 2014 voters in the Sixth Congressional district with a 5 point Republican advantage based on projected turnout. Registered Republicans make up 37 percent of the district, while registered Democrats make up 32 percent, and independent voters comprise 31 percent.
“The latest numbers confirm what we’ve known all along: This race is a dead heat,” said Romanoff spokeswoman Denise Baron in a statement. “Mike Coffman and the out-of-state interest groups that back him have spent millions of dollars attempting to tear Andrew apart. Their strategy hasn’t worked — and it won’t. Andrew’s extraordinary record of leadership, his firm focus on growing the economy and strengthening the middle class, and the grassroots enthusiasm of nearly 1,000 volunteers have enabled us to pull even with the congressman. The voters of this district are hungry for change, and on Nov. 4, that’s exactly what they’ll produce.”
Coffman campaign spokesman Tyler Sandberg said the poll is a juvenile stunt on the part of Romanoff’s campaign. “We know this race is competitive, but we don’t need a half-baked poll to convince ourselves that we have a fighting chance to win it,” he said. “Team Coffman is just going to keep working hard, while Andrew Romanoff spends time and campaign money on polls that appear to have been commissioned from the back room of the dollar store.”
“…back room of the dollar store.” That’s a guy or gal right there who never HAD to shop at the Dollar Store.
And Capital Hills Romanoff has?
Wasn’t my point at all. Wasn’t trying to compare, just found the Dollar Store comment condescending to poorer people is all I was attempting.
It’s clear to me that Coffman’s support for “Personhood”, criminalizing some forms of birth control, is a major problem for him among both independent and moderate Republican women. Two staunch Republican women have told me today that they really don’t like having men telling them what they can and cannot do. Both have said they will not vote for Coffman or Gardner but will leave both lines blank. I was shocked!
Politics have dropped to a new low, if personhood, birth control, abortions are such a fixation in minds of voters. With Ebola, Jihadists, Terrorists, and crime in USA, combined with economy in the toilet, employers hiring 2 people for each job they have, at low pay per hour, businesses closed or moved off-shore, selling more drugs, guns, ammunition, than ever before, there is such fixation on sex. WOW. Shame the Democrats don’t have anything in their plans to brag about, certainly not defending IRS, ICE, Homeland Defense, Border Security, Reducing Military. NO. Personhood?????? How Shallow? By the way, I received my ballot yesterday, voted it, and will deposit it today, and personhood did not enter into my thinking at all.
You are babbling Frankie. New low? Really? Bad politics has always been about one group wanting to control the masses. Today it’s controlling the freedom of women, tomorrow it’s ????
Frankly, I don’t care. If women want to be serious, and keep attention on their brains, then be modest, cover up, and don’t expose more flesh than needed. I don’t babble. And I don’t have time for silly games. Life is much more serious for families struggling to meet tax burden, let alone feed, cloth, and educate their children. With 1.6 children in USA going to sleep without a home, or even knowing when they will have a home again, I would think women would be more serious.
Today I will post another comment to you Foxie? I attended a candidates forum on evening of 14th, arrived home to find my ballot had arrived. Voted it within 10 minutes of opening, and dropped it in ballot box on 15th. You are the one babbling about women controlling their bodies. Majority do, and if the others would, they would not need birth control, abortions, or worry about men controlling them. And if you really think one man has that power, look to who reigns by Executive Orders. Remainder of us voters, still depend on House, Senate, Supreme Court, which takes majority at each level. Mark and Corey was at that forum, and same question came up and message was garbled. No one mentioned that Maggie Fox (Mrs. Mark Udall) worked for Al Gore until Jan 2014 (political need to fire her with Mark up for re-election), she wrote for Sierra Club and traveled extensively with Hollywood actor to visit Tar Sands in Canada, and Colorado Peak Politics posted photo of her in front of podium Obama-Biden as she received applause for carbon tax. Or were you aware of this? I do believe that would have changed the polls in Colorado since we have coal miners, and we also pay for electrical energy produced by coal, gas, wind, solar, with request already to PUC to increase in near future. Have a good day.
Everyone knows the questioner can phrase question to get result they want. If one candidate is hehind, announce it and dollars flow to the one behind. MSM (printed and video) which funds flow to the pollster entity. And this is also reason the flyers and ads look the same. All those $5 and $10 add up. How does Andy explain receipt of almost 1 million dollars from ActBlue by June 2014? Is that not PAC money? He stated again last night at forum, “he does not take PAC money”. Kind of reminds me of Al Gore not knowing he was a bag man to pick up funds from Chinese in California few years ago? And why did ActBlue pour so much money into Colorado election? Just asking?
