Is Colorado Now Blue? A Panel of Political Experts Predict.

Has Colorado shifted from its swing state status of a more reliably Democratic state? The last three presidential elections, new registration figures and 2018 primary turnout has trended Democratic. But Colorado voters still split their tickets.

Voting starts in mid-October. Join a panel of the state’s political experts who will discuss the Colorado and national political environment just before voting starts.

Along with the national election, they will discuss the Colorado governor’s election and partisan change in the balance in the state legislature, as well as significant ballot issues on fracking, school and transportation funding.

Ask the experts.

The Crossley Center for Public Opinion Research is hosting a panel of top Colorado political experts on the election. The panel, called “Colorado Politics in 2018: A Transformative Election,” includes:
