Polls vs. results

Pollsters in Colorado's top-ticket races -- for president and senator -- came remarkably close in predicting the margin of the contests. Colorado Politics and 9News commissioned a SurveyUSA poll that showed voters choosing Democrats Joe Biden and John Hickenlooper by 10 points and 9 points, respectively. The final results were 13.5 points and 9.3 points.
