Gov. Jared Polis is losing steam among members of his party, particularly progressive Democrats, according to a recent poll.
Other statewide Democrats also saw their favorability ratings drop, though relatively stable compared to the governor’s numbers, the poll conducted by the Colorado Polling Institute in late March said.
Forty-four percent of respondents said they view Polis favorably, down seven percentage points from last March. Nearly 50% of respondents said they had a negative view of the governor, whose final term ends this year.
Polis’ favorability was strong within the Democratic Party last year, with 84% of members saying they viewed him favorably. That number has dropped to 72%, while Polis’ approval among Democrats who identify as “liberal or socialist” decreased 23 percentage points in the past year.
Other elected officials’ approval ratings remained relatively stable.
