The campaign for Democrat Ed Perlmutter said this afternoon that a poll to be released shortly by 9News shows that Perlmutter holds a significant lead in the primary race for Colorado's 7th District.
According to the campaign, the Survey USA poll of likely Democratic voters in the suburban Denver district found the following amount of support for each Democratic candidate:
Perlmutter ... 51 percent
Peggy Lamm ... 31 percent
Herb Rubenstein ... 10 percent
Undecided ... 8 percent
Campaign spokesman Scott Chase said the survey asked respondents if they were Democrats and if they were likely to vote in the 7th district primary on Aug. 8. Those who answered "yes" to both questions were asked, "Who are you supporting?"
Lamm campaign manager Jim Merlino said he had not seen the poll and declined to comment on it.
