So who’s really ahead in the race to be Colorado’s next governor? It depends on which poll you’re looking at, KDVR reports. A new poll released Wednesday by Public Policy Polling shows the Democrat, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, with a 50-39 percent edge over Republican Scott McInnis, a former congressman from Grand Junction who is likely to be the GOP’s nominee. According to that survey of 580 likely voters, Hickenlooper is better known and more popular than McInnis — across the board and with independents.

Politico: Two polls released this week give starkly different pictures of the Colorado governor’s race. A Public Policy Polling survey released Wednesday shows Democrat John Hickenlooper, the mayor of Denver, with an 11-point lead over former GOP Rep. Scott McInnis. Just two days earlier, a Rasmussen Reports poll had McInnis ahead of Hickenlooper by a margin of six percent.
