PPP Shocker: Hick Leads Tancredo by 3, 47-44

Seriously, if Hickenlooper blows this race…For what it’s worth, Maes takes 5% of the vote in this poll.

Key takeaways from the poll:

– Tancredo leads 46-44 with independents

– Hickenlooper has an 87-10 edge with Democrats, Tancredo has a 73-14-9 edge with Republicans.

– As PPP puts it:

Hickenlooper’s been unable to rise above the 47-48% mark in PPP’s polls over the last three months. When Tancredo and Maes were splitting the vote relatively evenly it looked like that would be enough to win but now Hickenlooper really appears to be at risk of losing. Given the trajectory of the race it is not inconceivable that Tancredo could pick up a good chunk of even the small amount of support Maes has remaining and 38% of the undecideds are Republicans to only 23% who are Democrats. Those two data points suggest that Tancredo still has more room to grow.

Just because something may be inconceivable, doesn’t mean it cannot happen.
