linq query for CRM 2016 online filtering date filed to just date

Hi

I am trying to select a set of records from a customer entity called "new_title" where I have a custom date field "new_orderdate". I want to pull all the records where "new_orderdate" equals a specific date

XrmServiceContext orgContext = new XrmServiceContext("Xrm")

var _today = DateTime.Now.Date;

var orders = from x in orgContext.CreateQuery("new_title")
             where x.GetAttributeValue<string ("statecode") == "Active"
                                select x;

 this returns all the records from the title Entity.  I want to restrict to records only today's date.

However, I am unable to filter by where x.GetAttributeValue<DateTime>("new_orderdate").Date == _today

Note- I want to compare only the date portion omitting the time stamps.

I tried to do the below

 var order = from x in orgContext.CreateQuery<"new_title">()

                                        select new
                                 {
                                     orderdate= x.GetAttributeValue<DateTime>("new_orderdate")
                                                                     };


                    order = from x in order
                                    where x.orderdate.Date == _today

                                    select x;
I am getting error at the second step. 

My idea was to join orders and order to select the records. but no success.

Any idea is appreciated.
