Reuters Poll: Ken Buck leads Michael Bennet by 9 points

According to a Reuters poll released on today, incumbent Michael Bennet trails Republican challenger Ken Buck by 40 percent to 49 percent.

Former Republican Tom Tancredo appears to be playing a spoiler's role in the race for governor as he is attracting voters who otherwise would support the Republican candidate, Dan Maes, the poll found.

Some 41 percent of likely Colorado voters said they would vote for Hickenlooper, the current mayor of Denver, the survey found. Some 33 percent said they would support Maes and 16 percent said they planned to support Tancredo, who left the party to run as a candidate for the little-known American Constitution party.    – More -
