Given the breakdown of the poll participants, this is not a good news poll for the Republican, in my opinion. It appears that some of that 49% of republicans in the poll are leaning towards the Democrat.
It's very close, of course, in the poll, but that big block of Independents is worrisome.

I think you meant to say 49% of the independents are leaning toward the Democrat, and if so you almost nailed it. If you click the link, you'll see that the Democrat gets 86% of Democrats, 13% of Republicans, and 48% of Independents. The GOP incumbent Schmidt gets 71% of Republicans, 6% of Democrats, and 38% of Independents.

"Given the breakdown of the poll participants, this is not a good news poll for the Republican, in my opinion. It appears that some of that 49% of republicans in the poll are leaning towards the Democrat." Says right in the text: "Republicans support Schmidt 6:1."
That's roughly 86%.
