Poll: 51% oppose Ref C extension

October 18, 2007

According to a new poll by Ciruli & Associates, 51% of Colorado voters would not extend Ref C beyond its first five years — news that must be giving Gov. Ritter and his band of Blue Ribbon commissioners some serious heartburn.

Immigration (cited by 26% as their top priority) ranked as the top concern of state voters, followed by “health care price/accessibility” (15%), education (11%), transportation (7%), economy and taxes (6%). Again, bad news for legislative Democrats who have watered down the immigration enforcement bill passed in the 2006 special session and who seem bent instituting universal health coverage and/or a single-payer health care plan.

Ciruli’s poll, noted in the Denver Business Journal, also showed Republican Bob Schaffer narrowly trailing Democrat Mark Udall, 36%-35%, in next year’s U.S. Senate race and Republican congressional candidates leading their Democratic counterparters by 40%-37%.

Overall, 44% of Coloradans consider themselves conservative, 28% “middle of the road,” and 26% liberal.
