Romanoff pulls even with Bennet, poll finds

8/1/2010 - The Denver Post - Democratic Senate hopeful Andrew Romanoff has closed a double-digit deficit and pulled even with incumbent Michael Bennet in Colorado's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, according to a new Denver Post/9News poll.

Romanoff and Bennet are about even — 48 percent to 45 percent, respectively — in the poll of 536 Democrats who have voted or are likely to vote in the Aug. 10 primary. The question has a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.

The results show a surge for the former state House speaker since June, when he was 17 points behind, and are likely a reflection of a well-organized and passionate ground game, analysts say. Romanoff recently sold his house and cashed in savings to loan his campaign $325,000.

Romanoff's movement is "dramatic," according to pollster Jay Leve of Survey USA, the firm that conducted the poll.
