SurveyUSA's latest CO senate poll is a real head scratcher. After leading by 4 in their September poll, Udall now trails Gardner by 2. Looking into the poll's crosstabs, however, shows the sheer ridiculousness of it. In September, Udall led on the strength of 45-42 lead among white voters, with only a very small 48-46 point lead among Hispanics. In the October poll white voters' voting intentions hardly budged, with Udall still leading 45-44, so what accounts for the 6 point overall change? Looks like Hispanics are all jumping on the tea party bandwagon, with Gardner leading by an absolutely absurd 14(!) point margin, 49-35. This is just ridiculous. To put this into some context, Bennett lost white voters by 7 points in 2010 and still won the election. If Udall ends up winning or even close to tying among white voters, he will sail to a very easy victory. I can't believe they had the gall to publish such absurd results. Stuff like this makes me irrationally angry.
