| Description | Colorado’s unaffiliated voters turned out for last week’s election in record numbers and turned their backs on Republicans by wide margins, a survey conducted by a GOP polling firm shows.
Democrat Jared Polis won the governor’s race by 10-1/5 percentage points — his victory fueled in part by an overwhelming win among unaffiliated voters, with 59 percent supporting Polis compared to 25 percent supporting Republican Walker Stapleton, the poll found. Unaffiliated women gave Polis a 45 percentage point margin, while unaffiliated men preferred the Democrat by 24 percentage points.
One-third of unaffiliated voters said they were less likely to vote for Republicans because of Trump, who declared the midterms were a referendum on his presidency and campaigned throughout the country in the months before the election. Just 12 percent of unaffiliated voters said Trump’s influence made them more likely to vote for Republican candidates. |
