GOP poll has McCain up solidly in Colorado

Brent Seaborn, late of the Giuliani campaign and now back at his consulting gig, sends over some up-ballot numbers his firm, TargetPoint, took for a third-party effort out in the Colorado Senate race.

Per their polling, McCain would defeat Hillary in Colorado 52-40 and beat Obama 51-39.

It's one mere poll in April, but given the state's blue-ward tilt in recent years and the hopes many Dems (especially Obama backers) have to pick it off, the numbers underscore the need for the Dems to not just come together but to also chip away at McCain's image.

(It was taken from 604 likely general election voters the first week in April)
