I dont think the Bain ads ran in CO, plus both campaigns went off the air after Aurora.

When you look at the data, the CO crosstabs are odd. Not only does it have GOP +10 weight, the age breakdown has 38% of 65+ (it was 22% in 2010, which was a GOP wave year). I think it is just an outlier (like Quinnipiac's FL poll from last week).

But put them all in the blender and you get a close race in CO, probably right around the nat'l avg.
