Public Policy Polling (5/14-16, Colorado voters, 3/5-8 in parens):
John Hickenlooper (D): 44 (50)
Scott McInnis (R): 44 (39)
Undecided: 12 (11)
(MoE: ±4.1%)
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper’s numbers have come back down to Earth, although perhaps PPP’s March poll of this race was more of an outlier than anything else. Still, PPP continues to find Hickenlooper with solid 47-33 favorables, a cut above McInnis’ 31-30 spread… and incumbent Gov. Bill Ritter, for that matter, whose numbers have slid down to 34-52. Ritter definitely did the Democratic ticket a solid by stepping aside, but this will be no cakewalk going forward.
Rasmussen was too pessimistic and PPP too optimistic. This one feels right.
and Bennet have exactly the same level of support, according to the polls. Seems like around 44% is the current committed statewide Dem vote.
