In light of a new SurveyUSA poll showing Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff edging appointed incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet in Colorado’s Democratic Senate primary, Bennet’s campaign released an internal polling memo showing the incumbent senator ahead 41%-37%.
The survey, conducted by Harstad Strategic Research and documented in a memo released Sunday night, also found that Bennet is ahead five points among the one-fourth of voters who have already sent in their mail-in ballots. Colorado’s primary elections are being conducted by mail this year.
The TPM Poll Average of the Democratic Senate primary gives Bennet a 43.0%-41.9% lead. The margin of error of Harstad Strategic Research’s survey is 4.0 percentage points.
