Udall holding lead in Colorado

Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is maintaining his lead over Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in Udall’s bid for reelection, according to a poll released Sunday.

{mosads}Udall garnered 48 percent of registered voters, while Gardner took 40 percent, according an NBC News / Marist poll. The remaining voters were undecided or voting for third-party candidates.

Udall is also leading Gardner among Hispanic voters, 60 percent to 27 percent, according to the poll.

“Right now, Udall is disrupting GOP plans to add Colorado to its victory column as they seek a Senate majority,” said Lee M. Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, in a statement. “To seal the deal, Udall needs to mobilize young voters and Latinos who boosted Barack Obama in his presidential wins.”

Pollsters surveyed 1,208 likely voters between Sept. 2 through Sept. 4. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

In May, NBC / Marist showed Udall with support from 48 percent of registered while Gardner had 41 percent.
