Denver - A new Colorado poll shows the Democratic Party cannot presume an early coronation of Hillary Clinton to be a sound political strategy, and that the state's Senate seat is up for grabs.
Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., who hails from a dynasty of successful Democrats, remains locked in a tight race with his Republican challenger, Rep. Cory Gardner, according to a Quinnipiac University poll out Thursday. Udall leads by a single point which means he and Gardner are in a virtual tie since the poll has a 2.7 margin for error.
Meanwhile, the poll shows Hillary Clinton, when matched against Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, would lose by five points in Colorado 48-43. Republican Chris Christie of New Jersey matched Clinton 42 to 42 in the poll. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee trailed Clinton by a single point 45-44, while former Florida governor Jeb Bush would lose to Clinton 45-40 in the Western swing state if elections were held today.
Coloradans said the economy and healthcare were the most important issues by respective margins of 16 and 14 percent, far ahead of any other issue. Democrat incumbents like Udall are more vulnerable on these issues due to a particularly slow economic recovery and the badly botched rollout of Obamacare.
