Posted by Mike Memoli | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
While we wait for the outcome of today's primaries, Public Policy Polling (D) gives us some new numbers to mull over on races in Colorado later this summer.
On the Democratic side, appointed Sen. Michael Bennet has expanded his lead over former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff.
Democratic Primary Election Matchup
(442 LVs, 5/14-16, MoE +/- 4.7%)
Bennet 46 (+6 vs. last poll, 3/5-8)
Romanoff 31 (-3)
Und 23 (-3)
Considering the situation in Pennsylvania today, it's notable that President Obama recently stopped in the state to campaign with Bennet.
On the Republican side, we have a tightening race. Former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton, the establishment favorite, now leads Weld County DA Ken Buck by 5 points.
Republican Primary Election Matchup
(448 LVs, 5/14-16, MoE +/- 4.6%)
Norton 31 (-3)
Buck 26 (+9)
Other 15 (-1)
Und 29 (-3)
In the gubernatorial race, former Rep. Scott McInnis (R) leads the GOP primary field with 50 percent of the vote, 35 ahead of his closest challenger.
The Colorado primary is August 10.
