A new Rasmussen poll of the Colorado gubernatorial race shows third-party candidate Tom Tancredo within eight points of Democrat John Hickenlooper, with Republican Dan Maes far behind.
The poll found Hickenlooper leading with 43%, Tancredo in second with 35% and Maes third with 16%. Tancredo passed Maes in the polls in September, and has not looked back. Rasmussen found that 5% of likely voters are still undecided.
The previous Rasmussen poll of the race, from mid-September, showed Hickenlooper leading Tancredo and Maes 46%-25%-21%.
The TPM Poll Average shows Hickenlooper (45.8%) leading Tancredo (35.0%) and Maes (15.0%).
