• Self-identified Hispanic or Latino voters roughly split between the two candidates: 

• Caraveo: 42%

• Evans: 41%

• Undecided voters most often selected these issues in their top two:

• Economy/Cost of Living: 65%

• Borders/Immigration: 37%

CO-8 - Colorado Amendment 79 - Right to Abortion

Additionally in District 8, CCR found substantial support for Amendment 79, Constitutional Right to Abortion: 56% of voters supported a right to abortion, with 35% against, and 9% undecided. Amendment 79 requires 55% approval statewide for passage, indicating the level of support found in the poll is not statistically different from the level required to pass the measure within the district.

CCR had several notable findings on Amendment 79 in our survey of the district:

• Support had a significant partisan breakdown:

• Democrats: 93%

• Republicans: 14%

• Unaffiliated: 58%

• 62% of women support the measure

• 50% of men support the measure

Although CCR did not poll statewide on Amendment 79, given the relatively split partisanship in CO-8, the district may be a bellwether of support for the measure statewide.

CCR polled another substantial issue in District 8, Colorado Proposition 131, which would significantly change how state and federal offices elect representatives. CCR found that current sentiment puts support for Prop 131 at 51%, opposition at 29%, with a significant portion of undecided voters at 20%. Prop 131 is a statewide measure that requires 50% + 1 for passage.

CCR had several notable findings on Proposition 131 in our survey of the district:

• Support had a moderate partisan breakdown:

• Democrats: 56%

• Republicans: 32%

• Unaffiliated: 56%

• Support was inversely correlated with age:

As voters prepare for the upcoming election, the results of this poll signal a competitive race that will require both candidates to sharpen their strategies and engage with the community effectively.
