Colorado hasn’t elected a Republican as Governor since 1992, and there’s no reason to think this will change in 2026.
The winner of the Democratic Primary between Sen. Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser will almost certainly succeed Gov. Jared Polis in January…but which one will it be?
As always with our totally unscientific reader polls, we want to know what you THINK is going to happen — not what you might prefer or which candidate you may support yourself. If you had to place a sizable wager on the outcome below, where would you put your money?
We’ll update this poll regularly to get a sense for how perceptions are trending; as we’ve seen in every election cycle since we started doing these polls, our readers are pretty good at predicting outcomes in individual races.
