Latest Poll: Bennet, Buck in Dead Heat, Tancredo Behind

By Jeralyn

A new poll from the Denver Post and 9News have Sen. Michael Bennet and challenger Ken Buck in a dead heat. Three weeks ago, Buck was leading by five points.

In the Governor's race, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper has a good lead on Tom Tancredo. The poll shows he's got more support than Tancredo and the Republican candidate, Dan Maes, combined. Results here.

American Constitution Party gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo has decided no more Mister Nice Guy. He's going after his opponents—Democrat and Republican—with double-barreled ads he hopes will take them out in the waning days of Colorado's gubernatorial campaign.

Tancredo's campaign spent about $60,000 on the ads, which are airing more than a dozen times a day on some rural radio stations and some television stations.

If Maes, drops out this week, as Team Tancredo is asking him to do, will it help either Tancredo or Ken Buck? I doubt it will help enough for Tancredo, but if it causes more Republicans to vote, it could be a problem for Bennet.

This election will be close. Democrats really need to get out and vote.
