New SUSA Poll Shows Tie In 7th CD.

A new SUSA poll shows a tie between Democrat Ed Perlmutter and Republican Rick O'Donnell in Colorado's 7th CD.

A link to the poll is available here.

This is important because earlier signs were pointing towards this district leaning much more Democratic than it did when Congressman (and Gubernatorial Candidate) Bob Beauprez (R) won it in 2002 and 2004.

Here is a quick abstract of the poll:

O'Donnell (R) 45% Perlmutter (D) 45% Undecided 6%

Interesting notes include the fact that a Green Party Candidate and a Libertarian both are polling at 2%.

This poll will not cause us to move this race from Leans Dem. The reason is because the survey sample was 44% Republican. We need to see more polls before we will move this race.
