There’s a few “Good news for the real estate mogul: The poll is only of voters in Colorado, which won’t matter this year”, since Colorado will not have a preference election. Ted Cruz of Texas with 14 percent, Carly Fiorina with 5 percent, Sen.
Meanwhile, Colorado voters have saved their warm welcome for Republican Ben Carson.
