Governor Hickenlooper may like to joke about his collapsing poll numbers, but Politico suggests his newfound political peril is no laughing matter.
In an article about the gubernatorial races across the country in 2014, Hickenlooper is singled out as a Democrat governor with a tough re-election ahead of him.
Referencing the latest Quinnipiac poll of Colorado that found Hickenlooper’s numbers collapsing faster than Greece’s credit score, Politico suggests Hick’s 2014 re-election could be a “nail biter.”
In Colorado, for example, Hickenlooper was one of the nation’s most popular governors not long ago. A push for background checks in the wake of the Aurora movie theater shooting and a temporary reprieve for a man on death row brought his numbers back to earth. He’s still favored to win reelection, but one recent poll suggests it will be a nail-biter.
I predict that LICKENPOOPER's 're-election campaign is a NON-STARTER. Colorado CITIZENS are MADDER THAN HORNETS about the gun laws – and OTHER b-a-d legislation rammed down our throats. Unless Colorado VOTERS have very short MEMORIES….I predict that there are going to be a BUNCH of very sad, sad, sad LIBTARDS cleaning out their offices. I will be here to REMIND Coloradoans about LICKENPOOPERS gun grab and ALL the rest. LICKENPOOPER is wasting his time and money. COLORADO! LET'S CLEAN HOUSE – and turn COLORADO back to the RED STATE that it once was before the RETARDS moved here.
