Poll: Udall’s lead within margin of error
By Politicker StaffDemocrat Mark Udall's lead over Republican Bob Schaffer in the race for the U.S. Senate has virtually disappeared, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports.
Forty-seven percent of those surveyed supported Udall, compared to 43 percent for Schaffer.
The four-percentage point lead is within the 500-person poll's margin of error of +/-4.5 percent.
Udall, who currently represents the 2nd Congressional District, held a nine point lead in a Rasmussen poll last month. In May, Rasmussen found Schaffer, a former U.S. Congressman, trailing by six points.

Quote of the Day
"If a special election were to be held to replace Congressman Salazar . . . that is a race we could win. That district is very competitive. We would field a great candidate, and we would run a campaign we could win in the 3rd District." - State Republican Party Chairman Dick Wadhams on his party's ability to win a special election in the state's Third Congressional District should Barack Obama nominate U.S. Rep. John Salazar (D) for Secretary of Agriculture.
