欧美口爆视频

Heading into the first day of in-person voting, 欧美口爆视频 women are leaning overwhelmingly blue, tipping the state toward high single-digit leads for Democrat Joe Biden, former Gov. John Hickenlooper and Democratic congressional picks, according to new 欧美口爆视频 Boulder research.

鈥淲e see a pretty consistent Democratic lead across all of these races,鈥� said Anand Sokhey, director of the nonpartisan American Politics Research Lab, which released its Fifth Annual 欧美口爆视频 Political Climate Survey today. 鈥淏ut the gender gaps are enormous.鈥�

The online poll of 800 欧美口爆视频 residents, conducted Oct. 5-9 before ballots were mailed, also surveyed participants about several听ballot measures and a variety of issues, including the nomination of a new Supreme Court justice, trust in mail-in ballots and faith in the electoral process. It found that while the majority of Coloradans are confident the elections will be conducted fairly, three-quarters are worried about violence on or after Election Day.

鈥淎 couple of years ago, I wouldn鈥檛 have even thought to have included a question like that,鈥� said Sokhey, an associate professor of political science. 鈥淭hose numbers are a little stunning.鈥�

Biden and Hickenlooper in the lead

Biden has a 9-point lead over President Donald Trump among likely 欧美口爆视频 voters, the poll found, with 47% reporting they鈥檒l vote for Biden, 38% reporting they鈥檒l vote for Trump, 3% voting for 鈥渙ther鈥� and 11% undecided. 听

Among women, 56% support Biden and 33% support Trump. Among men, Trump is in the lead, with 43% compared to Biden鈥檚 39%.The U.S. Senate race shows similar patterns, with Hickenlooper holding an 8-point lead over Sen. Cory Gardner among likely voters, and 11% undecided. 听Among women, Hickenlooper has a 15-point lead, but among men, the votes are split down the middle.

When asked how they would vote if an election for the U.S. House of Representatives race was held in their district, 47% of likely voters said they would vote Democrat and 39% said they would vote Republican. Again, men favored Republican candidates 46% to 33% while women favored Democratic candidates 54% to 41%.

鈥淵ou have seen a growing division for a while in which female voters are responding negatively to Trump鈥檚 leadership and rhetoric, and that is spilling down to some of the other races,鈥� said Sokhey. 鈥淚t appears the female vote could play a very important part in this election.鈥�

Abortion measure 鈥榯oo close to call鈥�

Proposition 113, which would affirm 欧美口爆视频鈥檚 entrance into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, appears to have a comfortable lead for now, with 49% of likely voters in favor and 34% opposed, the survey found. 听

Proposition 118, which would create a paid family and medical leave act allowing up to 12 weeks off, enjoys a sizable lead, with 65% of likely voters intending to vote for it, while 22% said they鈥檇 vote 鈥榥o.鈥�

Meanwhile, Proposition 115, which would prohibit abortions after 22 weeks gestational age was 鈥渢oo close to call,鈥� the survey found, with 45% opposing it and 41% supporting it.

Notably, for all three measures, many likely voters (13% to 17%, depending on the item) hadn鈥檛 made up their mind.

鈥淚 think there鈥檚 plenty of time for the ballot measure campaigns to reach people,鈥� said Sokhey. 鈥淧eople are definitely still making up their minds.鈥�

Post-election violence a worry

When polled on matters related to the U.S. Supreme Court and confidence in the electoral process, Coloradans split largely on party lines.

Asked if the winner of the presidential election should be the one to nominate a replacement for late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, 54% of all surveyed said 鈥榶es,鈥� 32% said 鈥榥o,鈥� and 14% said they weren鈥檛 sure. Not surprisingly, 81% of Democrats agreed that the winner of the election should appoint a new justice, compared to 39% of Republicans.

A series of questions addressing confidence in the electoral process yielded mixed results:

Two thirds of those surveyed said they had confidence in the mail-in voting system, including 82% of Democrats, 59% of Republicans and 62% of independents. A majority of Coloradans agreed that the coming elections will be 鈥渃onducted fairly and accurately.鈥� Yet only 57% agreed that if their preferred candidate did not win, they would view the winner as legitimate.

Interestingly, 71% of likely 欧美口爆视频 voters said they are worried about violence on or after Election Day in other parts of the country.

鈥淲e have seen an uptick in rhetoric and hyper-partisanship and that has people concerned,鈥� said Sokhey.

A purple sample

This is the fourth year the American Politics Research Lab听has contracted with public opinion company YouGov to administer the survey to a representative sample of Coloradans.听 In past years the poll has been generally accurate in calling races and ballot measures -- for example, in 2018 the poll accurately predicted a win for Governor Jared Polis.

The partisan splits 鈥� on the weighted data 鈥� are based on respondents鈥� self-reported partisanship at the time of the survey, using a 7-point scale. The researchers combined 鈥渓eaning partisans鈥� with stronger partisans. 鈥淎 lot of research has shown that leaning independents actually act like partisans,鈥� said Sokhey, explaining that the number of 鈥減ure independents鈥� in 欧美口爆视频 is likely considerably lower than the 40% of voters who appear as unaffiliated in the voter rolls.

For the candidate and ballot questions, the sample was weighted to represent likely 欧美口爆视频 voters: 46% Democrats (or Democratic-leaning respondents), 40% Republicans (or Republican-leaning respondents) and 13.5% pure independents. The margin of error听is 4.64%.

For the questions about electoral process and legitimacy, the sample was weighted to represent 欧美口爆视频 residents in general: 46% Democrats (or Democratic-leaning respondents), 39% Republicans (or Republican-leaning respondents) and 15.5% pure independents. The margin of error is 4.55%.听

Big picture, 欧美口爆视频 looks to be neither a bright blue state or a bright red state, but rather some shade of purple. And, as a state with a six-year history of mail-in voting and a key Senate seat at play, it is now in the national spotlight.

鈥淭his time around, there are a lot of eyes on 欧美口爆视频,鈥� said Sokhey.
