New Public Policy poll: Bennet Expands Lead over Romanoff

Fresh off the press:

Michael Bennet has now opened up a 15 point lead, 46-31, over Andrew Romanoff as he attempts to win nomination for a full term. That’s a 9 point increase in his advantage since leading 40-34 in a March poll of the race.

The key thing for Bennet is that he’s winning similar levels of support from liberals, moderates, and conservatives. He has an 18 point lead with moderates, a 15 point one with conservatives, and it stands at 11 points with liberals. Romanoff clearly isn’t getting much traction from the left and Bennet’s across the board advantage ideologically bodes well for his ability to unite the party around him for the fall if he does indeed win the nomination.

(emphasis mine)

There’s not much to say, really – Bennet and Romanoff both split Latino support, and even though Bennet is weak there, he’s made up 11 points since March. All the momentum seems to be flowing towards Bennet, notwithstanding a meaningless win at the state convention for Romanoff.
