Interesting that she did not choose to publicly release those internal polls showing her behind, instead publicly releasing polls showing her with a three-point lead. Will we hear after the election that Udall's internals privately showed him trailing as well?

Read it again, they never publicly released any internals in the last couple of weeks, when Berkley was down 1-2 points consistently, as it wouldn't make sense to release polls with your candidate trailing.

And that's a big part of why you can't trust internals. Candidates have their pollsters take tons of different polls at varying times with varying sample sizes and 'push' questions, and then release the one they like the best regardless of its validity.

Public Pollsters, on the other hand, release every poll they take, not just the ones they personally like the results of.

Except Rasmussen and Gravis.

This is an internal.

I indeed believe Udall will win, but not by 3, and polls should give gardner the edge right now: Udall should be saved by a higher expected turnout.

Good one

Anyway, PPP will have a Colorado poll coming out in a few days, so that should provide more clarity. Their record in Colorado is very good. They were the only ones who didn't underestimate Obama's margin in 2008/2012, and also were the only ones that showed that Bennet had a chance.
