The Denver Post’s Nic Garcia reports on a new poll from Emerson College showing a tight three-way race for Colorado’s Democratic presidential nod:
Among the Democratic candidates, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who won Colorado’s 2016 caucus, leads with 26% support, according to the Emerson College poll released Tuesday. Former Vice President Joe Biden comes in a very close second with 25%, and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is third with 20%. The margin of error is 4.8%.
Colorado’s own U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet — who has suggested Sanders and his more progressive ideas couldn’t win in Colorado — received just 1% support in the poll.
Comparing these in-state numbers to a nationwide April poll also conducted by Emerson, we see that Joe Biden’s support has remained static at 24-25% while frontrunner Bernie Sanders has sagged three points. The bulk of the momentum between these polls appears to be solid growth of support for Elizabeth Warren, who shot up from 7% nationally in April to third place behind Biden and Sanders with 20% today in Colorado.
This new survey also corroborates a related data point in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race:
The survey also found former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper leading U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, the Yuma Republican up for re-election, 53-40 in a hypothetical match. Hickenlooper, who dropped his bid for president last week, has yet to announce whether he’ll mount a Senate bid.
It’s interesting to us, but not unexpected, that in a survey showing such strength for two progressive candidates, Sanders and Warren, also shows former Gov. John Hickenlooper with a powerful advantage over incumbent GOP Sen. Cory Gardner. Hickenlooper’s ill-fated presidential campaign was heavily focused on attacking Sanders and “socialism,” after all, and this poll shows Sen. Michael Bennet’s presidential campaign with little traction even here in his home state. This could be an indicator that Colorado Democrats are more lucid of the different dynamics governing the national versus our local political landscape than they’re given credit for.
One thing’s for sure: as a Super Tuesday state, we won’t be hurting for polls to show the trends as they firm up.

Warren. She needs to be President.
Now if Bernie would just drop out and endorse her, she wins the primary – easily. Whatever happened to the time honored tradition of democratic centralism?
It evaporated when people within the Democratic party started calling those they disagree with "Left Wing Nut Jobs" for talking about actual progressive ideas.
Ouch!
I think you prolly win the interwebz today, Curmy.
Thanks! Though it looks as though the resident DINOsaurs are already braying their disapproval.
I suppose evolution isn't for everyone.
Tee hee. It looks like somebody never heard of the Russian Revolution.
Drinking, this early?
Well, it's not like you have anything else to do…
You might google "democratic centralism" when you get a break from those onorous food service duties. Hint: Vladimir Lenin was not one of the Beatles.

I Am the Walrus
Damn, I owe Duke a beer. I bet him that you were the Egg Man
Tee hee.
Wr’re laughing at you, not with you, uneducated one.
Do you have any references later than 1970?
I know what it means. Most people picked up what I was puttin' down.
You did NOT know what it meant. If you had, you would not have implied it was a good thing. You know what it means now because I called you on it.
"Democratic Centralism" was a typical example of what Eric Blair called Doublespeak in his 1984 novel, written under the name of George Orwell.
Just admit you made a mistake and move on. Pretending that you knew a term that you obviously didn't only makes you look dishonest.
You really think someone has to spend their lives with their fat asses spot-welded to an office chair in order to read?
You and your fellow DINOsaurs constant references to Lenin and Stalin, as spurious as they are, don't go unnoticed.
Not everyone has alcohol-induced memory loss.
So, you're sticking with the lie? Bad choice, Curmy.
But not a surprising one.
I expect it from a third period twit like you.
That's the end of this exchange. If it continues, you will first "out" me, then start detailing your S and M fantasies.
Yeah, I figured you go for the vicarious naughtiness again. You outed yourself, Bob. You, and your XXXXXL ego. And now, this is the only way anyone pays attention to your sorry, bloated ass.
But unlike your former employers, I don't have to pay to avoid having to deal with you. Though I'm sure it was money well spent.
Obviously not as well spent as the money you paid to your six dominatrixes.
I suppose, if you consider making friends dinner while they sit on the couch, knitting and drinking wine with my wife while watching Game of Thrones to be "payment"…
( I'm sorry, MJ, but I had to make it clear; my friends are people. )
And my real life is better than any sticky, sweaty, indescribably creepy fantasy ol' Bob can come up with.
Right. You met those six dominatrixes in your bowling league. It's all innocent. And your wife is so proud.
Tee hee
You really are unable to see people as anything different than what's in your hilariously repressed id, aren't you?
You’re just gross, Bob.
Oh, I see you for what you are, Curmy. That high-school honed mind knows its way around krafft-ebbing!
Oh, no! More fancy-pants book learnin' that your Daddy paid for, that anyone can access now, thanks to Google.
Progress is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Just ask the dinosaurs.
Actually, I had a scholarship to CU, and worked at numerous jobs to pay living expense. But my dad did help a lot. Yours obviously was ashamed of you for failing the college admissions tests. Is that why you hate successful people so much, loser boy?
Six dominatrix, hired by a freak,
Whaling on Curmy each day of the week…
I give up. For the last time, the point isn’t to defend you, or your friends, or your beliefs. Your DINOsaurs crack was a bit harsh, but not worthy of a full on flame war. V knows or cares nothing about your friends, and neither do we. The point is cruelty, as Psuedo said. It’s the same ethos as Trump’s. V and Trump have that in common.
learn to just say, “Yeah that’s bait.” Then don’t respond, don’t escalate, don’t defend, don’t feed it. . Trust- nobody cares about your personal life.
V might pull back if someone he respects, like cook or Michael, asked him to, or if Pols smacks you guys down again. But probably not. We Pols readers will just have to endure your nonsense for however many more posts it takes to vent your respective spleens.
Who's we, Bob? Speaking of laughter, and these friends of mine you're obsessed with…
A few of those women have seen your pics…there's definitely some laughter there… one of them even envies your half-a-herd-died-for-it corset-er, vest. She wants to use it as a cover for her Mini Cooper.
You're lying again, Curmy, though no one cares. I do have some sweater vests but they ain't leather.
I take it you work as a waiter or some other menial job at the downtown marriot. Yes, I was an honored guest at the Judicial excellence dinner for quite a few years. Most of those folks are in the legal community and the only way you would have been there would have been waiting on tables.
Are you saying no one can prove you were wearing a leather vest, Bob? Is that what you're saying? Like no one could prove you were Voyageur?
Do you really think I'd say that if I couldn't back it up? Something so specific?
I'm saying this is your creepiest post yet. You pay sex workers to beat and humiliate you while you turn yourself on by looking at pictures of me in leather? Wow! Go ahead, post your "proof" Curmy. And you are once again deliberately violating the Outing rule. You’ll be banned for at least a year, a blessing to the non-perverts on this board.
I don't think I ever had a gay masochist leather fetishist stalker before. And I don't like it.
You need help.
Goodness, your fantasies are so…lurid, aren’t they?
Feel better?
Newsflash, Bobby –
It's not outing you to the people on this little board that's a concern, Bob. Everyone here already knows all about you.
Gonna be interesting reading in other circles, though…
Tee – Fucking – Hee.
Of course, there is the little matter that you just outed yourself. You're a photographer. Probably the one hired by the Colorado Judicial Institute to record our annual judicial excellence awards ten years ago?
Who else would have photos of me at that dinner on file.
Go ahead, post your photo. Your employer will be very happy to learn that you are sexually harassing people with photos that feed your leather fetish.
Even by your standards, that was a stupid, stupid thing to do. That high school honed mind at work.
And you will be banned here because you explicitly break the outing rule. Read it, stupid one.
Six dominatrix hired by a freak,
Whaling on Curmy each day of the week.
But though they whip him with tawse
and feather
He only gets off on guys in leather.
Implying someone is gay as an insult? Is that any way for a journalist-in-residence to talk? I guess time really is a flat circle, and events repeat themselves, like it or not.
Wrong again, Bobby.
You know, a good lawyer knows to never ask a question without knowing the answer first.
Substance, gentlemen, substance. Nobody wants to scroll through endless pages of your personal feud. V will attack, needle, jab, insult, humiliate, nitpick, mock, and quote dead Russkies,…it’s what he does. Nobody knows why. Nobody cares.
stick to being enlightening, entertaining, or both.
Uhh, La Pomposa, you aren't exactly well suited to play peacemaker, especially in an exchange started by your arch-foe R&R.
Trump stinks.
Fair enough, MJ. Out of respect for you, I'll let him have the last word.
From each, according to his, her or their ability. To each according to his, her or their needs.
Just like a lot of things in the Bible, it looks good on paper, but adding people screws it all up.
Do you even know from where I got the quote?
Knowing the depth of Curmy's scholarship, I'm betting he thinks it was from "Game of Thrones."
You guys are precious. Should form your own little DINOsaur club.
Embarrassing.
And pointless.
Omigawd, he didn't know where that quote comes from!
It may not apply to persons who aren’t democrats? . . .
. . . Oh, and also what Curmudgeon said..
Methinks, R&R , that Curmy and company don't know what Democratic centralism means. Coined by Lenin, it means the leadership adopts a policy and the rank and file follow it slavishly.
T'was a bit of irony in R&R's comment. Curmy don't do no steenking irony.
Do the good people at Emerson know that independents are allowed to vote in the primary this time?
I found this really interesting too
So even though Democratic primary voters only gave Buttigieg 5% and Harris 13%, there is a consensus that the top 5 would be a much better choice than Trump.
^^^exchange the quote above with names from the Colorado Senate race and it would be an equally as valid statement^^^
Is the primary next week? I have not received my ballot.
Given that the DNC has ordained a 15% "viability threshold" for delegates, anyone know what the rule is going to be if those above 15% only get 50-70% of the vote? Does Colorado apportion the others among those who reach the threshold? Do they go as "uncommitted" delegates?
Reality check – it’s August. More often than not the candidates leading now don’t win the nomination.
Would not surprise me if Buttigieg wins Iowa.
Oooo…. Emerson College, what’s next, the University of Phoenix. Tulsi 2020! The only real Democrat patriot.
Those do seem like they’d be kinda’ a stretch for someone of your advanced years who’s still working on his ABCs . . .
How about:
Ttump University? . . .
FOX & Frauds (& Pfruits)? . . .
Hey, she'd be an improvement over spineless Trump. Who can't even stand up to a weakened NRA on background checks.
Hey..
Care to share your mass shooting plans with us? Got your AR-15 "cocked and loaded"? Ready to defend your lord and master?
C'mon PP, tell us how magnificent your earthly savior is and how America is now Greater than it has ever been. Tell us how prosperous we all are…"loaded with cash"…wasn't it?
He's getting ready for the coming war against Denmark.
No wonder Trump is trying to weaken NATO. Denmark is a member!
Emerson College polling has a pretty good rep.
538.com looked at 85 of their polls, finding they called 75% of races correctly, had only a slight Democratic lean, and an overall "grade" of B+.
Are you upset with them because you've never heard of them or because they are providing answers you don't like?
And you are in a small club backing Gabbard — "real patriot" or not, she's likely to either return to the back bench of the House or become a talking head on a cable channel.
Emerson is legit but, yes, it's all very early.
