Listen Later

In this episode of Unleashed, Heidi sits down with Rasmussen’s head pollster Mark Mitchell to unpack brand-new polling data on Colorado’s Republican primary voters—and what it reveals is nothing short of explosive.

Together, they dig into the political realignment reshaping the state, the outsized role of unaffiliated voters in our open primary system, and why Trump-style MAGA candidates still outperform on core issues, even in deep blue Colorado. They talk through the 2024 Republican primary turnout surge, what the Nikki Haley numbers really meant, and how Democrats may be gaming the system.

From voter trust in elections to media bias and the myth of moderation, Mark and Heidi take you deep into the data. They also explore the challenges of running as a conservative in a progressive stronghold, how the Trump coalition can evolve, and what it will take to win statewide again in 2026.

This isn’t just another poll breakdown—this is the blueprint for winning Colorado back.

📢 Tune in for fresh insight, a dose of reality, and a clear-eyed look at what it will take to turn things around.
