Michael Bennet’s polling numbers have dropped significantly over the last 3 months
DENVER — Attorney General Phil Weiser and Sen. Michael Bennet are locked in a tight race with one month remaining before Colorado’s June 30 Democratic primary for Governor, according to results of a Fighting for Colorado poll of the race released today.
In a poll of likely Democratic primary voters, 36% said they would support Bennet, 30% Weiser, and 34% were undecided.
The poll of 505 likely Democratic primary voters was conducted June 1-2 via landline and text by Public Policy Polling. It has a margin of error of ± 4.4%.
In February, a poll circulated by Bennet supporters showed the Senator with a 27-point lead.
“With a third of the electorate undecided, this is anyone’s race — but I would much prefer to be in Weiser’s position of building support compared to bleeding support like Bennet,” said Curtis Hubbard, a spokesman for Fighting for Colorado. “Being the billionaire-backed candidate of D.C who too often supports Trump is a bad spot for Bennet to be in as voters start paying closer attention to this contest.”
In the latest poll, Bennet has a +29 favorability rating (50% favorable, 21% unfavorable, 29% unsure) compared to Wesier’s +28 (41% favorable, 13% unfavorable and 46% not sure).
“While Bennet continues to have a name ID advantage built largely off of spending 17 years as Colorado’s U.S. Senator in Washington, D.C., Weiser is bolstering his name ID and leads Bennet 48-26, among those who have heard of him,” Hubbard added.
