M. Udall 41%Not the most reliable of polls, but it follows the recent trend showing the race in a tie or a slight lead for Mark Udall. Interestingly, the raw numbers are the same as a Schaffer-sponsored poll released in late August.

New National Journal Poll: Schaffer-Udall Race Within Margin of Error
A reader has tipped us to the release of a new poll in Colorado's U.S. Senate race that shows the two candidates within the margin of error. The survey was conducted from September 11-15 by Allstate/National Journal among 402 registered voters, with a margin of error of +/- 4.9 percent (no free link available):

Indeed, not the most reliable of poll at all. bellow average sample size of 402, and a significantly above average margin of error of 5 percent.
Fear not, the reliable polling agencies of PPP and Quinnipiac/QSJ/Post have release some more recent polls!
PPP's poll conducted on 9/20-21 with a sample size of 1048 found the race closer to 48-40 with Udall in the lead. Meanwhile, Quinnipiac's poll conducted on 9/14-21 with N=1418 found the exact same thing, with Udall in the lead 48-40. Both had a margin of error of +/- 3%.
All this information, with links to the original polling sites (missing in your post), can be found here: http://www.pollster.com/polls/co/08-co-sen-ge-svu.php
keep up the good work chaps!
