This week (well, actually, late last week) on the Get More Smarter Podcast: did you know there is a free, statewide quarterly survey, available to the public, including toplines, crosstabs, and a full analysis deck by two of Colorado’s most respected pollsters who form Colorado’s most respected bipartisan polling team?
Well, if you didn’t, now you do. And it’s a true public service provided to the super-dork community in Colorado.
David Carlson, the Founder & CEO of the Colorado Polling Institute dropped by the pod to discuss the results of their latest statewide survey, and it’s a doozy.
In lieu of going through it all in excruciating detail, you should just watch the video above, where David very patiently and kindly walks through most of the deck with me. We discuss some hair-raising insights about the direction of the state, voters’ top concerns heading into the primaries (hint: it’s the economy, stupid), the state budget (hint: it’s a disaster and a lot of voters know it), TABOR, snow and fire, jobs and ratings of leading Democrats. You’re not going to want to miss this one, and it’s best digested as a video so sit back, grab your popcorn, your beverage of choice, and tune in.
That’s it for this episode!
