Michael Bennet Leads Ken Buck By One In Latest PPP Poll

A new Colorado Senate survey from Public Policy Polling (PPP) is defying the prevailing polling trends that have Republican Ken Buck with a slight edge in the race.

PPP's latest poll, which surveyed 834 likely voters from September 30 to October 2, shows incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet with a the slightest of leads over Buck, 46-45.

Interestingly, PPP found that moderates, who comprise the majority of unaffiliated voters in Colorado, prefer Bennet by a 24-point margin despite having a generally negative opinion of the freshman senator.

37 percent of self-described moderates surveyed hold a positive opinion of Bennet, while 45 percent view him negatively. Meanwhile, just 27 percent of moderates view Buck in a positive light, compared to 57 percent have a negative opinion of the Weld County DA.

PPP's Tom Jensen suggests that Buck's trouble with independent moderates is "the price to pay for Republicans nominating a candidate with limited appeal to the center."
