Democrat Jared Polis holds a 7-point lead over Republican Walker Stapleton in the race to be Colorado’s next governor, according to a new survey of likely voters by a bipartisan team of Colorado-based pollsters.

The survey – jointly conducted by Democratic firm Keating Research and Republican firm Magellan Strategies – was commissioned by the nonpartisan Healthier Colorado foundation and made available to Colorado Politics before its release Tuesday.

According to the survey, Polis has the support of 47 percent of voters to Stapleton’s 40 percent, with 1 percent picking the Libertarian nominee and 11 percent undecided.

The survey found Polis ahead of Stapleton by 17 points among unaffiliated voters and by 18 points among women.

The pollsters also asked about several issues related to public health. They found overwhelming majorities across both parties support allowing some Colorado residents to purchase health coverage through the state’s Medicaid program, raising the age to buy tobacco to 21, and boosting taxes on e-cigarettes and nicotine vaping products.

Among the survey’s other findings: Seventy-six percent of voters support enacting a “red flag” bill – legislation to allow authorities to take firearms from residents determined by a court to be a significant risk to themselves or others – while just 17 percent oppose it. (GOP senators killed a bipartisan “red flag” bill that was introduced in the final days of this year’s legislative session.)

“We see a lot of division in politics today, but when it comes to health issues, Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters in Colorado are uniquely united,” said Jake Williams, Healthier Colorado’s executive director, in a statement. “No matter who wins the race for governor or which party controls the Colorado House or Senate, Colorado voters of all political stripes clearly agree that we should make progress on health policy.”

Election officials start delivering mail ballots in two weeks to Colorado’s 3.2 million active, registered voters. They’re due back to county clerks by 7 p.m. Nov. 6.

Keating and Magellan conducted the landline and mobile phone survey of 600 likely voters using live interviewers from Sept. 18-20. The survey’s margin of error is plus-or-minus 4 percent.

Polis, a five-term congressman, held an identical 47-40 lead over Stapleton, a two-term state treasurer, in a Public Policy Polling survey conducted for state Democrats in late June. That’s the only other poll that’s been released publicly since the candidates emerged from crowded primaries.
