Senator Mark Udall has been in the battle for his political life for months, as his Republican challenger Cory Gardner has gained and overtaken the Colorado Democrat in the polls. Gardner has led Udall in 11 of the past 12 polls, and has a 3.2-point lead in the Real Clear Politics average of polls. The latest poll one, from Rasmussen, has Garnder ahead by six points.

Next door in New Mexico, meanwhile, Udall’s cousin Tom Udall has been considered all but completely safe this election cycle, leading his GOP opponent Allen Weh by double digits. But the latest survey from the Albuquerque Journal finds Udall ahead by just seven points, the closest Weh has been in months. An internal Republican poll, the Daily Caller reports, shows an even closer, four-point race.
