Recent polling shows Bennet has lost almost a 20 point lead in the past 2 months.

Political Consultant Eric Sondermann says that Bennet is now officially “scrambling”.

The poll indicates that Bennet has gone from a huge lead to a narrow 48 to 45 lead, well within the 4.3 margin of error. The Survey USA spokesperson called the developments

“dramatic”

UPDATE: my initial reading of the poll information was incorrect: upon further reading of 9News coverage Romanoff is actually leading Bennet 48 to 45.

Andrew Romanoff has made up a 17-point deficit in a month to take the lead over Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colorado) in a 9NEWS/Denver Post Survey USA Poll conducted late last week.

And….

Might as well add this from a latest poll on July 27

This poll  – republican leaning or not – shows the following

Fifteen percent (15%) have a Very Favorable opinion of Bennet, the Denver school superintendent who was named to the Senate last year when Ken Salazar became secretary of the Interior. But 35% view him Very Unfavorably.



Romanoff earns Very Favorables of 20% and Very Unfavorables of 21%.

My math may not be the best, but a 35% unfavorable rating for Bennet is definitely worse than a 21% rating for Romanoff –

even if this is a republican leaning poll.

And as people in this diary from Colorado Pols

have discussed, it is time to start planning for the reality that Romanoff will win this primary,

and focusing on keeping this seat in Democratic hands.

Your thoughts?
