That's pretty sh**t for Clinton. What's Colorado's issue with her?

Quinnipiac has typically undercounted Hispanic voters because its polling methods do not reach them effectively. Q is OK in other states at that, but probably not in Colorado.

That is what I would expect in Texas -- but not in Colorado.

Q is very good in states other than Colorado. It could be that Quinnipiac pollsters ar bad at reaching Hispanics.

Well, I think this poll is great news for Paul, but a president's dissapproval probably doesn't translate into how that party's contender does in the next election. Bush's approval was at rock-bottom in 2008, but McCain did much better than Bush's job-approval rating. I think Clinton will probably be stronger than Obama come 2016. She surely wouldn't get just 38% of the vote in CO if the election were held today.

Quinnipac might undercount Hispanics, but I think that Colorado is probably more anti-government than the nation, which could affect the state's general approval of anything having to do with the federal government. It's just a thought.

I don't understand your criticism of Quinnipiac in Colorado:

Quinnipiac only polled CO in 2008 and 2012 and in 2008 they had one of the best final CO polls out there, showing Obama winning by 9 (he won by 9).

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/news-and-events/quinnipiac-university-poll/presidential-swing-states-%28co-mi-mn-and-wi%29/release-detail?ReleaseID=1220

...

In 2012, Quinnipiac conducted their CO poll right after Obama's disaster of first debate and of course Romney was up by 1 in this one. Too bad they didn't release a final poll closer to the election.

But in general, Quinnipiac is a solid pollster and they had good results in 2012.

...

There's another simple explanation for CO and Hillary: She suxx in this state (but that can change during the actual 2016 campaign between summer and election day).

The phrase "Bush does worst" always puts a smile on my face.

Quinnipiac did get the late charge of the Democrats. It may have the demographics now set to a midterm election, which will be far more relevant in November 2014 (results of which Q must position itself for now) than for 2016 (by which time it will have plenty of time to put the Presidential-year model in place).

Q now has a good model in place for November 2014, and a horrid one for November 2016. Which would you rather have now?  I say 2014 for everything but the Presidency.

Colorado is rare in the fact that Rs outnumber Ds but liberals have a smaller deficit to conservatives compared to national numbers.  Basically, the roles between Democrats (the party with the most registered but less organized) and Republicans are reversed.
